I find that the editors I use most —- TextMate and the JetBrains suite —- also have the option to use Emacs bindings. I try to maintain functional literacy with vi(m), because it tends to be more available by default, but I’ll use Emacs where possible.
- mumblemumble 6y agoA fair point, and, though I'm not personally sad about making the switch, I definitely don't want to imply that other emacs users should drop everything and switch to evil mode. But, at the risk of branding myself a traitor, I would suggest that anyone who doesn't already have emacs shortcuts burned into their muscle memory should choose to learn the vim ones, because they're somewhat more widely supported. (And to use doom emacs to do it.)
- davidrupp 6y agoI’ve found value in knowing both. And I’ve decided that I prefer Emacs because the mode I care about most —- which I informally call “just type stuff mode” —- is the default “mode” in Emacs.
