If you think Vim emulation is a replacement for Vim, either you don't know Vim or you don't like Vim. VSCode Vim emulation? Spacemacs? They are miniscule, pale comparisons. VSCode is a fine editor. Emacs is a fine editor. Spacemacs is pretty fantastic. But if you you think that's Vim, you simply don't know and appreciate Vim. That's ok, but it's not even in the same universe as the real thing. By all means use what you want, but don't try to sell it as close enough.
- bokwoon 6y agoI agree, but also understand that many people use only a subset of vim and think of that as the full package. And that's fine for them.
- gnl 6y agoWould you care to elaborate and point to some specific features and workflows that you consider to be unique to the real Vim?
- celeritascelery 6y agoI honestly can't think of anything that the vim adds the you can't get from vim emulation. Especially a top notch one like Emacs Evil. Please use vim for the keybindings, not the software.
