I chose emacs when Textmate stopped getting updated. The joke page registered at textmate2.com redirects to emacs, and a most of the people harassing Allan on his blog a couple years ago were saying they'd switched to emacs.
I think it might just be that emacs doesn't lend itself to screencasts or golf quite as much as vim.
- SoftwareMaven 16y agoI could lower the lid on my macbook so the webcam is pointing at my fingers to show the chording. Hmm, yeah, probably not so helpful. Emacs has also had a really strong community for over 30 years (perhaps driven somewhat by the higher education roots). As such, I think it had a more firm underpinning than vim did, so more of the tutorials and such already existed.
