As someone who really doesn’t “get” or care for Vim, why should I contribute to an alternate Emacs-“distro” entirely focused on an existing Vi user-base, using non-standard conventions and keybindings?
I mean good for them having that option, but what’s in that thing for me?
- celeritascelery 6y agoYou don't have to use vim keys in Spacemacs or Doom. You can just use the regular ones if you want.
- josteink 6y agoBut then what does Spacemacs offer me over plain Emacs? And I’ll also have to learn all the things it does differently. All in all, sounds like a net negative to me.

- Cyph0n 6y agoThis is one of the main reasons why I stuck with Vim. The strain on my hands was very noticeable, even as I was just starting to learn the standard Emacs keybindings..
- josteink 6y agoThen I can enable evil-mode, instead of fully changing my setup to a unconventional Emacs-distro which does everything differently. Again: what’s in it for me supporting this alternate Emacs universe?
