Spacemacs - The best editor is neither Emacs nor Vim, it's Emacs *and* Vim!

- shadeless 11y agoSpacemacs is awesome, I've been using it exclusively since January and it keeps getting better and better! There's too many nice things to list them in a comment but feel free to AMA.
- wodenokoto 11y agoIs it beginner friendly? I've never used either, is this a good or a bad place to start?
- Immortalin 11y agoIt is heavily opinionated but is very beginner friendly. I transitioned from Sublime Text to Spacemacs about a week ago and I am really enjoying the increase in editing speed, especially with the Vim keybindings.
- wodenokoto 11y agoThanks, one more questions: Did you follow a tutorial or just jump right in and saw what happened?
- shadeless 11y agoI'd say it's much more beginner friendly than out of the box Vim and Emacs. In the first couple of days I kept the documentation page [1] open to quickly check how to do something (or how to do it easier/faster), than moved to using the builtin commands for getting help [2]. And if you get stuck on something or have a question there is also an active Gitter channel [3]. One thing that you should keep in mind that Spacemacs was meant to be used without the mouse, that may trip up people who are used to clicking around Sublime/Atom or their IDEs.

- bauser 11y agoSpacemacs is such a great framework for development (and more). I echo shadeless's comments. I've been working with it since March and I've become exponentially more productive since.
