I don't get the vi(m) vs emacs war. Vi(m) is a great editor; emacs is a great operating system. Take the best of both worlds and enjoy spacemacs :)

- napsterbr 10y ago(I'm not kidding! My xinit is exec emacs :)
- moosingin3space 10y agoI'm half-considering writing an ultra-lightweight Wayland compositor that largely gets out of my way and makes it easy to launch spacemacs and Chromium, because between those, I can do basically everything I use a computer for.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoSpacemacs is actually the worst of both worlds...
- supernintendo 10y agoIf you're referring specifically to evil mode I would agree with you (and this is coming from someone who loves and uses both Emacs and Vim regularly). I do enjoy what Spacemacs provides from a configuration and package management standpoint. Maintaining one file is a lot easier than maintaining entire .emacs.d.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoActually, I was talking about the configuration layers, in part: I don't know about you, but I'd like to know what my config is doing, dammit. Yes, my init.el is pretty long, but I know exactly what it's doing.
- flukus 10y agoThat's not really the worst of both worlds though, it's a spacemacs issue that neither emacs or vim has.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoWell, I was also talking about various other things, but you're right. So it's not only the worst of both worlds, it also has problems unto itself.
