I'm a vim person myself. my issue isn't with vim vs emacs, but that people who choose vim as their editor don't switch their command line editing to vim mode, and find it both worse and ironic when it comes to the subset of vim users who are vocal against emacs!
- dllthomas 10y agoI think there's a fair amount of room for a workflow that does most meaningful commandline manipulation inside the editor, in which case leaving vim in emacs mode and "just" knowing C-r and C-x C-e could be sort of reasonable. I certainly understand being skeptical of "vim modes" - they are often incomplete in painful ways. As mentioned above, I often run up against the limitations of bash vim mode when trying to change what's inside quotes.
