> I think a lot of people would argue that Emacs is also slow and bloated, but makes you, the user, program most of the functionality you get from VSCode or JB out of the box I only use what I need. Use-Package, Org, Org-Roam, Magit, Yasnippets, and Modes for my chosen programming languages.. are a must. all other things, like Themes, come second. Anything else are just nice additions. Point is, I do not spend much time playing about with my config. > I think the people who switch from editor to editor that requires 0 config actually saved time and money Moving from IDE/Editor to another IDE/Editor will still have some form of learning curve. I stick with Emacs, based on my comments above. > I also am not sure about the whole Vim thing. Sure - my comment is not an Emacs vs Vi thing. I know vi/vim is still popular and, yes, I still use it from time to time when SSH'ing onto a server for a quick config change. I am expecting it to be more popular than emacs. Point is, despite neovim coming around.. I am sure vi (or vim) will still be lurking around in 10 years.. like emacs.
