I can't speak for others, but for me it comes down to work flow, vim is always 2 keystrokes away and starts instantly, and sane configuration defaults (my definition of sanity anyway..) it is available on all hosts I frequent and behaves predictably without having to sync extensive configurations.
- thotsBgone 6y agoFor me, emacs is also 2 keystrokes away and starts instantly (as long as the daemon is already running). Doom emacs has sane (good!) defaults. My main valid gripe with emacs is the slow rendering engine.
- anamexis 6y agoI agree - whenever I'm on any remote host, I just use vim, but for local development, emacs + evil mode is my daily driver.
- sasaf5 6y agoI once tried Vim with the expectation that it would reduce keystroke count, but found that to be largely exagerated. As an example: save in Vim: [esc] : w enter 3 or 4 keystrokes involving two hands. save in emacs: C-x-s one 3 fingered chord with the left hand. And then I missed all the depth provided by emacs modes, perforce integration, org mode etc etc.
