$ alias cs='emacsclient -nw' $ emacs --daemon $ cs notes.txt Emacs starts up pretty quick for me. Kind of agree though, especially about the modal editing and quickly navigating. I often start up vim when I want to edit a word or two at a specific line fast. I switch over to emacs if I end up editing multiple lines and organizing the text.
