Spacemacs is slow, clunky and always messed up (I tried it 6 months ago and it conflicted with Ergoemacs pretty badly).
Also, _both_ vim and Emacs are horrible UI. Vi was designed for slow terminals and a particular keyboard with no arrows; ghjk for navigation is terrible, always pressing the wrong key. Emacs was designed (C-w) evolved from macros for Space Cadet keyboard with lots of modifier keys. How these two archeological curiosities are still praised for being good modern text editors, escapes my mind.
(I use both vim and Emacs as I enjoy working in terminal, and I hate them both. Sadly, there is no good text editor like Sublime or Atom for console).
- avindroth 10y agoI have been using spacemacs and I can't really go back. Some parts are clunky, but it feels like I am riding a battle cruiser. I can literally do anything. I have gone on the editor search for a while, and now I have settled. Can't be more happy! The editors I might switch to are Acme, LightTable, or Lamdu, but probably unlikely.
