For me pragmatism wins the day. Vim has been installed on every machine I've ever ssh'ed into. Not true for emacs or even nano or pico.

- dredmorbius 14y agoVim, really? Some vi variant, save but for a few instances. But not necessarily vim. Being stuck to use old-school vi a few times in the not-to-distant past made me realize how massive an improvement over it vim is. Yes, I can GSD with vi, but I can really GSD with vim.

- tikhonj 14y agoYeah, but I always ssh from Emacs using Tramp. When all I have to do is C-x C-f /user@hostname:~/path/to/file, there is no reason to use anything else. Just as pragmatic, and I get to use all my nice normal Emacs features at the same time.
