I used vim and neovim for quite some time and eventually switched back to Emacs. The "you do not have to leave your environment" is actually quite nice. magit a

  FWIW, I disable electric-indent globally and use C-j instead of RET which indents after new-line (it's bound to electric-newline-and-maybe-indent, I believe it's the default binding): C-j runs the command electric-newline-and-maybe-indent (found in global-map), which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in ‘electric.el’. It is bound to C-j. (electric-newline-and-maybe-indent) Insert a newline. If ‘electric-indent-mode’ is enabled, that’s that, but if it is disabled then additionally indent according to major mode. Indentation is done using the value of ‘indent-line-function’. In programming language modes, this is the same as TAB. In some text modes, where TAB inserts a tab, this command indents to the column specified by the function ‘current-left-margin’.

  > Still having trouble with identation, though. vim is just smarter ... While that is still generally true in my experience, it helps a lot to set c-style indentation to linux-style instead of gnu-style. From the top of my .emacs: (setq c-default-style "linux" c-basic-offset)
