Wait until he discovers emacs! I don't mean that rudely, it's just that emacs can do everything vim does & far more.

- stewbrew 8y agoThere is exactly one feature in emacs vim doesn't have and that's overlays. You certainly know overlays?
- kurtisc 8y agoAh, but now I can use :term to run emacs inside of vim.
- falcolas 8y agoTo paraphrase the OP's own words, he likes vim because it treats editing as a first class citizen. Editing in emacs, without something like evil mode, is a second class citizen - it requires key chords to do. And, if I put on my snark mask for a moment, at the point you're using key chords to do your editing, why limit yourself to emacs? A fully programmable editor is now the norm, not the extraordinary. Taking my snark mask back off, I realize there are no editors currently which are as fast an extensible as emacs yet; Atom is close, but bloated and slow in comparison.
