Question on the book itself: as a 20 year vim user, is it a good book to learn Emacs?
- cpach 7y agoHaven’t read it so I can’t comment on the book itself. But the built-in tutorial in Emacs is quite good. Just type C-h t to launch it.
- johntash 7y agoI also can't comment on the book, but I'd recommend trying out Spacemacs if you are interested in learning Emacs. With Evil mode, you get to continue using a lot of your muscle memory from vim, and it's just overall a more pleasant experience with the discovery feature. https://www.spacemacs.org/ https://www.spacemacs.org/
- emmanueloga_ 7y agoI find my way to emacs everytime I want to do anything lisp or scheme related, for everything else I use a mix of VS Code and IntelliJ Idea (former for TypeScript, latter for Java). So emacs can be the best IDE for certain languages. Also, in the same way I have vim key bindings enabled for everything that supports it, a lot of UIs come with emacs bindings out of the box, so it is useful to learn some of them.
