People do like to talk about emacs bindings causing RSI, usually to rib on the editor and to keep the tradition of the editor wars going. However, there really isn't all that much evidence for it, is there?
Of course it's often in jest and somewhat famously the plural of anecdote is data, but it would be nice to know if there actually is something to the RSI. Ergonomics is complicated enough as-is.
- sodapopcan 2y agoMy only evidence is that my RSI got better once I started using Vim full time. Of course, Vim forced me to learn to touch-type and I also never used Emacs, but I'm just going to go ahead and attribute the cured RSI 100% to Vim and assume every other editor causes it. That's my "research" tells me, at least! :D :D ;)
