This seems like a nice extension to Emacs for folks that want to use it but are stymied by the steep learning curve.
Personally I think the learning curve is worth it... especially with an aid like Spacemacs. It gives you the context and quick access without requiring a mouse and thus results in faster and more efficient interaction in the long run.

- s17n 6y agoI believe that all available evidence suggests that keyboard-only editing is not actually faster or more efficient (I say this as a keyboard-only Emacs user).
- wtetzner 6y agoAny links? For me it seems like (haven't measured) being only on the keyboard or only on the mouse is faster than trying to switch between the two, if only because I avoid the mental context switching.
- s17n 6y agoI just googled and it looks like my statement is true, with the caveat that "all the available evidence" is pretty much garbage. I get terrible wrist pain when I even look at a mouse so editing speed is a secondary concern for me.
