- versteegen 3y agoAs an Emacs user: don't underestimate the amount of code running inside Emacs, especially if you install a lot of packages. I measure Emacs 28.2 as shipping 1.86M lines of elisp (a bit more than is in the source repo), the core is 540 kLoC of .c/.h files, and I have ~273 kLoC elisp amongst a small set of packages. Sure, Electron itself is probably still an order of magnitude more.
- nunez 3y agoCan confirm. Programming in vim is frickin awesome. I was a hardcore notepad++ user before this but decided to spend two weeks using nothing but emacs then, a year or so later, nothing but vim. I had to load up VSCode for a demo I was giving. All of the options and plugins and IntelliType and spurious warnings and stuff was crazy overwhelming.
