Spacemacs is a supercharged version of emacs configuration set (~/.emacs.d), it makes Emacs look like this[1]. Spacemacs sets <SPC> as your leader key and turns configuration into "layers", each layer being a set of packages, keybindings and functions you can use. Here is my .spacemacs file[2], I've been using it for last 45 days, before then I was pure Vim user for all my text editing and programming needs (except Java - where I still use IntelliJ) [0] http://spacemacs.org/ http://spacemacs.org/ [1] http://spacemacs.org/img/screenshots/ss1.png http://spacemacs.org/img/screenshots/ss1.png [2] https://github.com/ceocoder/dotfiles/blob/master/spacemacs https://github.com/ceocoder/dotfiles/blob/master/spacemacs

Do you see yourself going back to vim?

  I don't think so. In last couple of weeks I've discovered Org Mode, I really enjoy using it. Plus I like working in Emacs Lisp more than VimScript - something I never bothered to learn.

  Not the parent, but thought I'd share. I discovered Spacemacs in the beginning of my transition from vim to Emacs, and its familiar keybindings and "out of the box" experience really helped me stick with Emacs. These days I use my own Emacs config but that's not to say Spacemacs is not great. The only times I use vim these days is to quickly edit a file when I ssh into other machines from anywhere other than my laptop. On my laptop, I use Tramp Mode[0] for accessing/editing remote files. For programming Emacs is superior to vim for me personally; and even more so because my whole workflow is based around Emacs (coding, email, shell, Org mode, etc…).

  I gave it a go for a solid month and went back to vim. I don't believe anybody that likes spacemacs has customized their vim at all, or runs many plugins.
