> emacs, which can be configured in vastly more dang ways. Including ways which are a superset of vi, as you yourself admit. lol I think this may be turning into a emacs/vim war :) > The point of vim is to be vi but with more features. What defines the point of a tool is what its users make with it. Having vim with emacs short inside a binary I can run anywhere (from BSD to Windows, which I still love to use sometimes) gives me freedom, so for me the point of vim is freedom. I like emacs shortcuts (at least the readline ones) but not emacs itself, so for me, there's no point in using emacs. But if you prefer emacs, why don't you try to do the same thing I did, yet with emacs? You can follow my tutorial (check the part about strace to know where to add your files) and the binary from https://cosmo.zip/pub/cosmos/bin/emacs https://cosmo.zip/pub/cosmos/bin/emacs I may not like emacs, but if you prepare something containing what you consider should be the defaults, I'd be curious enough to give it a try :)
