- deltaprotocol 9y agoThis. I'm a loyal Emacs user (used Vim a couple years before migrating to Emacs and always kept it around) but I must confess: I'm in love with kak. It's not Emacs (although it is powerful) and will probably never be (even more so to a lisper) since it doesn't try to. But it is easy and minimal, which gives me some pause after long Emacs hours. I was very impressed to find that it has some degree of integration with tmux and with ranger, both tools that I love, to do window splitting and file management respectively. So clever and such a strong setup for a newcomer! I don't really feel it as a competitor and I still do work in Emacs, but it became my default terminal editor and my fallback $EDITOR. Knowing vim made things a lot easier and everything that I discover about it feels like an improvement. Highly recommended.
- sevensor 9y agoI'll second that too. 19 years with vi / vim, and it took kak less than a week to win me over.
