Vim.dev is redirected to Emacs website
- aboutruby 8y agoShould redirect to this: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Evil https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Evil And emacs.dev to: https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=300 https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=300
- snazz 8y agoThen they might have actually gotten some Vim users to switch!

- jxub 8y agoAnd the never-ending Editor War goes on
- 8draco8 8y agoAt this point I think it's just bunch of guys pulling pranks on each other. Most people in the industry don't care what you use as long as your code comes out clear, fast and secure.
- Jedi72 8y agoSpoken like a dirty Emacs Orc!
- jasonjayr 8y agoPlayer 3 has entered the game: VSCode
- leemailll 8y agoWait, that used to be textmate
- 8draco8 8y agoYou mean that Google Chrome based editor? Yeah it's cute.
- threatofrain 8y agoIntellisense, not VSC as an editor, is what's causing the killer popularity. When will emacs get something like intellisense?
- gpderetta 8y agoAutocomplete (in fact multiple competing implementations) has been available for more than a decade. There are dozens of sources of autocomplete data depending on your language of choice. The best one I have found for C++ is rtags which uses clang as backend and it is magical when it works. Unfortunately the latency was just high enough to get in the way of my work especially after switching branches and the server being busy reindexing the codebase. It was more than 3 years ago though, it is probably time to give it another try.
- threatofrain 8y agoI must've named the wrong feature, but I mean VSC's language inference abilities and API. I've been waiting for years for other editors to get something like that. All other editors have something like snippets or autocomplete matching for keywords.
- opan 8y agoI personally think using either one of them can improve your life a lot, and I'd recommend people learn either one. I started with vim and recently got into emacs, but heavy customization from spacemacs and evil-mode are what make it fairly painless. Vim's claim to fame is largely in the keybinds while emacs does stuff like document everything and give you a nice platform to build on top of. I'm glad I learned about modal editing, but also very glad I learned about stuff like helm and org-mode.
- stunt 8y agoI've got finger injuries and lived with pain for two years and I still blame Emacs layout for it. Never going back to it again. I use Vim keybindings pretty much everywhere now. even in my browser. Emac is like smoking. It is definitely bad for your fingers, but many escape it for many factors (genetic, habits, lifestyle etc).
- snazz 8y agoYou shouldn’t blame the editor when it’s a layout problem. That’s what Evil mode is for. If you like Vim bindings, you’ll find the better Emacs ecosystem refreshing with better bindings.
- awake 8y agoemacs.dev doesn't even redirect to the emacs website. Sometimes these types of things are ok. On reddit there is the funny example of r/trees being all about marijuana and r/marijuanaenthusiasts being all about trees. Maybe someone can redirect emacs.dev to the vim website.
- mark_l_watson 8y agoThat is strange, buying vim.dev was probably not cheap. Perhaps the owner did this as a joke until they get their vim.dev site setup?
- NedIsakoff 8y agoThe sunrise period ended yesterday. All .devs are now only 12USD/year
- brynjolf 8y agoNot for short urls, those range from $92 to $720
- mruts 8y agoNow that’s some hacktivism!
- jwmjj 8y agoI've never understood these editor wars. Isn't Vim simply a terminal editor, while Emacs is a GUI do-it-all?
- NextHendrix 8y agoBoth have terminal and gui interfaces. The main difference (by default) is that vim has a mode for moving around and a mode for entering text and emacs does both at the same time (mostly by holding ctrl for moving around), but both can be configured out the wazoo to do either to some degree.
- fka 8y agoGod will curse you since you've mentioned Vim as a "simply a terminal editor".
- umanwizard 8y agoEmacs and vim can both be used from GUI or terminal.
- leemailll 8y agoClearly you are too new to this. They are all term-based at the beginning.
- yitchelle 8y agoWhat an amazing comment. It's like saying, "I hate war and I will fight you to make sure you understand my point of view".
- rhizome31 8y agoAs a long time Vim user (oh gosh 18 years already!), to me the Vim vs. Emacs war has always been a lighthearted joke. If there's any real war, it's more between text editors and IDEs. I've been "attacked" on several occasions by IDE users for using Vim. Not once by an emacs user.
- mruts 8y agoIf you use emacs or bum, you are part of the cool kids club. If you use an IDE, you might as well be a heretic.
- rgoulter 8y agocf. emacs.sexy (a useful list of resources) with vim.sexy (a satirical page). :( Vim doesn't seem to have much luck with cute TLDs.

- ComodoHacker 8y agoVim has .vi and a chance to get .vim created.
- fka 8y agoAn Emacs user bought the vim.dev domain and mistakenly forwarded to the Emacs website while trying to press some key combination using a CAPS LOCK to CTRL mapped keyboard.
- badloginagain 8y agoIts 2019, You have to map ESC to CAPS now. #MacBookProProblems
- mk_chan 8y agoThis is probably the funniest prank I've seen this year.
- eniac111 8y agoIt's only March
- dbecker 8y agospaces.dev is still available, in case someone wants to buy it and redirect to something like tabs.com
- maddyboo 8y agoSomeone should register both spaces.dev and tabs.dev, then set them each up to redirect to the other, but only if the HTTP referer is not from the opposing site, to prevent infinite redirects. Then, the only way to access spaces.dev is to navigate to tabs.dev, and vice-versa.
- kensai 8y agoCan’t stand this war. That’s why I moved to Atom!
- pictur 8y agoatom is beautiful
- ponyous 8y agoHaha, not sure if sarcasm... But how is it affecting you?
- canofbars 8y agoI have been using atom for all of 2019. Its been quite terrible. Crashes every now and then, random lagging, cant delete files for some reason (its a reported bug). I have a vim plugin on it and a shortcut sheet on my desk which I am using to migrate to vim later. Others at work use vim and the way they edit text looks like magic.
- fka 8y agoBreaking: Some brave Vim user bought emacs.tech and forwarded to vim.org bug `tech` tld doesn't feel the same. Someone should reach out to emacs.dev owner.
- leemailll 8y agoSince Bram works for google, and google clearly ok with this. Can we say This is “Bram approved”? ;)
- jdlyga 8y agoI've seen a big dropoff in everyday people using Emacs in the past 10 years. For terminal text editors, people seem to be ok with learning enough about Vim to be semi-productive.
- bitlax 8y agoI'm seeing a lot of people pick up orgmode.
- rataata_jr 8y agoI see a lot of people picking up magit.
