This is like saying that you have been a mountain biker all your life, but then decided to play the trumpet for one year. Nonsensical conjunction.
- jvanderbot 4y agoNonsense. Emacs and vi have similar use cases, right? And similar inputs (keyboard) and similar environments, for similar users. They might be a difference of degree along a few axes, but they aren't a difference of kind like trumpets and mountain bikes are.
- smabie 4y agoAs someone who used Emacs 10yrs before ditching it.. I just really don't think it's very good at doing much. I mean sure it can sorta half ass a lot of different things but besides org-mode and magit, it's a pretty mediocre and clunky piece of software (clunky, incredibly slow, ugly, etc)
