As a Vim user who uses Emacs for note taking, I can guarantee Evil mode does far better at emulating Vim than you give credit for. In fact, the example you provided works just as well with Evil. The only built-in editing command which I notice missing from Vim is reliable undo/redo, which is sadly a fundamental Emacs limitation and a deal breaker. Apart from that, it's remarkably well-made.
- motform 5y agoEmacs 28 is finally adding modern undo-redo: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=2645ae1222db1df270276b227e5102884466ecb0 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=2645ae... Recent versions of evil have the option of choosing undo backend, and I have found the new buildin one impeccable thus far.
- soraminazuki 5y agoMy understanding is that it's still not as good as Vim's builtin undo though. Vim has a persistent undo tree that consistently works and doesn't confuse users. AFAIK the best attempt at it in Emacs is the undotree package, but it unfortunately has a reputation of being unreliable.
