… but seriously, go learn emacs!
After using it long enough, you'll realise that no editing environment even comes close. emacs really is superior to everything else out there: org-mode, magit, notmuch, gnus, slack-mode, all the different programming language modes, eshell &c. combine to form the best editing & development environment out there. From that first moment you write a little bit of elisp to make your life better and for the rest of your life (or at least as long as your eyes & hands permit you to use a computer), emacs really is worth it.
Not using emacs is a bit like trying to walk from Mexico to Canada, with one leg in a splint: possible, but why hobble yourself?
- JackCh 9y agoI hear you, and it's not like I haven't dipped my toes in to test the waters. But after 20+ years of vim usage it's not so easy to turn on a dime. (Particularly when Vim is more than sufficient for the work I'm actually getting paid for.)
- eadmund 9y agoFWIW spacemacs is a pretty decent vim-alike. Not perfect, but still pretty awesome. It's tougher, though, if you've been using a lot of extensions to vanilla vim.
