I've seen this thrown around when people joke why vim is better than Emacs and i think it's funny. But, seeing that Emacs has evil-mode, which is basically an implementation of vim on top of the said "operating system", i'd say it's false. Or ironic :D
- tharne 6y agoAs a vim user who recently migrated to emacs, this is 100% true. Emacs is now, among other things, a superset of Vim. Before using Emacs, I had always read that emacs has a steep learning curve. I found this not to be case since the vim emulation was so good and so complete, I was reasonably productive pretty quickly even though I obviously have a ton to learn about emacs.
