- dalke 15y agoLet's also drag out "I know just enough vi to compile emacs" and "at least you can run vi inside of emacs."
- almost 15y agoCurrently running Emacs with Vimpulse. Best of both worlds or crazy franken-editor? I've not decided yet :)
- einhverfr 15y agoAlthough I use VIM pretty much exclusively and haven't really used EMACS in a while, I have been impressed with LaTeX mode in EMACS and wish that was the way things worked in VIM. My guess is that you get some areas where it is a crazy franken-editor and some areas where it may actually be pretty cool.
- moomin 15y agoI use evil-mode myself. And yes, it's definitely a crazy franken-editor, but I prefer it to dealing with vim's API. I wish that "." respected the previous visual mode, though. Makes indentation a pain.
- access_denied 15y agoThan contribute code! The moment there is a truly, truly, truly awesome vi mode for Emacs available, the editor-war is over for good.

- sigzero 15y agoOh it is, my friend, it is!
