Developing muscle memory for Emacs is no harder than developing it for Vim, and since both involve rebinding annoying keys on the keyboard (mostly about whether Caps Lock becomes Esc or Ctrl) I prefer the editor with the more mature extension language.
- ashton314 7y agoMake Caps Lock both! I've got mine bound to be Esc on tap, Ctrl on a longer hold. Best thing I ever did for my pinky. (I'm an Emacs user, though I'm sure Vim users would benefit greatly as well.)
- cestith 7y agoSee, that's a reasoned argument of pros and cons. You didn't outright dismiss modes or dismiss a tool because it uses them. There's not a problem at all preferring a tool that's modal or one that's amodal. It seems a weird sort of zealotry to dismiss one or the other for that reason alone. If you're looking to extend your editor a bunch then Emacs is great for that. Personally I primarily use a keyboard with no Caps Lock key so I don't worry about remapping it.
