> I happened to learn emacs first and would be repeating a lot of labor to go as deep on vi. Speaking as someone who used vim for 10 years before getting sniped by Emacs (ten years ago.. shit I'm getting old): vim isn't as deep as Emacs, it's not even close. vim is only as deep as evil-mode. In fact, vim has a UX paradigm that's out-of-the-ordinary, and that's it. That's why in Emacs, modal editing is just another minor mode..
