I'm a heavy user for a vim for the last few years. Is emacs worth checking out to potentially switch to? Or should I just stick with what I'm already productive

- ageofwant 8y agoYou can have the best of both by installing evil-mode. Or try out http://spacemacs.org http://spacemacs.org, which has evil as a default layer.
- babarock 8y agoDepends what you're looking for. If you want blazing fast text-editing, you're better off learning advanced vim features like jumps, macros, registers ... If you care about integration with other text-based tools (like email, instant messaging, source control, code review, IRC, ...) then switching to emacs will transform your workflow. There are a couple of emacs modes that stand out, and in my opinion make emacs worth it: * Org-mode (https://orgmode.org https://orgmode.org): A note taking system * Magit (https://magit.vc/ https://magit.vc/) the best git client I've ever used.
