Editor war commence!
Joking, but as someone that has mostly used vim, I have the feeling that emacs is trying to do everything within emacs while vim are supposed to be used in tandem with other unix tools.
- Jtsummers 5y agoDefinitely a factor. There are still a lot of emacs use-cases which call out to or depend on unix tools, but yes. It's more common to try and "live" in emacs than in vim, whereas vim is more of a component within a larger experience.
- Lio 5y agoI saw this new Org mode port for NeoVim[1]. I wouldn't expect this to be anywhere near feature complete but for an old vim hand like me it's interesting. I'm a big fan of VimWiki personally but I'm in awe of some of the Org-mode demos I've seen. 1. https://github.com/kristijanhusak/orgmode.nvim https://github.com/kristijanhusak/orgmode.nvim
- christophilus 5y agoI like Kakoune for this reason. I just wish it had a few more niceties.
- tincholio 5y agoThe nice thing about org is how seamless it is to do all this. I do think that vim-style modal editing is the best way to go, but Emacs is to me a much better text manipulation platform than Vim is, and you can still get the Vim experience with evil mode.
- jtms 5y agoIt definitely is more akin to an operating system than just an editor. You can even VIM within Emacs with evil mode https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Evil https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Evil
