Hah that’s good one! I need to take a vacation and re-examine my vim life. So many good things to explore and muscle memory to tweak.

- apetresc 8y agoI wonder if there are any studies that look at how hard it is to permanently readjust muscle memory as you age. Would I ever (at 31) ever achieve the same fluency with emacs if I switched cold-turkey today as I've developed with vim in my teens and twenties? What about in my fifties?
- thomasfortes 8y agoI'm 33, switched to emacs the end of the last year, still find the way that vim edit files better, but the ecosystem around emacs has a ton of niceties, so for me the solution was to install evil-mode and configure it to work as close as possible to my vim configuration, but in the end I decided to left some things the emacs way. Now I sometimes find myself using some of the emacs shortcuts when editing files with vim...
