I used Vim for 15 years, then switched to Emacs+Evil. Vim is the best interface, Emacs the best platform. Emacs+Evil combines both.

  Addresses that old joke: Emacs is a great operating system, but it lacks a good editor; like Vi :)

  Haha, I used vim for a few years before switching to emacs. My brain just does not work modally. Still miss the dot though.

      I believe this is a different sense of mode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi#Interface https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi#Interface

      Vi is modal in a different way to EMACS. EMACS is not a modal text editor.
