Be old. I went from VMS' EDT in the late 80s to JOE (Joe's Own Editor) on Ultrix, to Emacs, and finally Vim. I finally switched to Neovim after Bram's passing.

- uxcolumbo 3y agoWhat made you switch from emacs to vim?
- cbm-vic-20 3y agoIts complexity. Elisp is both a blessing and a curse. It's great to be able to make deep, fundamental changes to Emacs via Elisp, but sometimes, you end up wading though very difficult-to-read code trying to figure out how it works. IME, vim is less flexible, but simpler when I just want to edit code and not think about Emacsisms.
