I have a serious question: If Emacs has a lot of the features people seek in Neovim, why not just use Emacs in evil mode? I watched this earlier today so it seemed relevant: https://youtu.be/JWD1Fpdd4Pc https://youtu.be/JWD1Fpdd4Pc
Side note: I've been using Neovim for months now and I've not tried Emacs. Not because I don't want to but because Vim with the plugins i have works really really well.
- syrrim 8y agoEvil mode doesn't support most ex mode commands. Can be jarring for someone used to doing things the vim way. Eg :help is just a thin wrapper around emacs' native help system, no :sets work, :u isn't implemented, etc.
- Carpetsmoker 8y agoI tried it a few years ago and found a lot of stuff quite confusing. Emacs does a lot of stuff better than Vim, but Vim is more than "good enough" for me, and it's not really worth the time/effort to learn a lot of stuff over again.
