Emacs has this too, with ‘undo-tree-mode’. (Incidentally, the documentation is wonderful: ‘The only downside to this more advanced yet simpler undo system is that it was inspired by Vim. But, after all, most successful religions steal the best ideas from their competitors!’)

undo-tree-visualize is easily one of the biggest wow factors for unfamiliar users. Cannot unsee, cannot go back.

I had occasional problems with undo-tree (the tree broke occasionally), I've been using vundo for a while now and I'm a lot more happy with that.

  The mark and diff functionality is great too.

  Another day, another great Emacs package I’ve just learned about. This one’s going in the init.el for sure!

I haven’t been using Emacs for a long time now, but isn’t the Emacs way better? With undo tree you don’t lose any history, but the same is true for what Emacs does by default and it is much easier to navigate the history, since every change is part of a linear history and undos and redos also get added to it.

Strange, I love GNU screen, and find the key combinations very easy and intuitive. However, I could never seem to master GNU's Emacs and what I find are very strange default key commands. I love vim for the reason of, what I personally find, very intuitive key combinations. I just downloaded VSCode for the first time recently -- which I was delighted to find has a VIM mode. From what I read VSCode's VIM mode does not respect the undo tree of actual VIM.

  A good number of Emacs users work with Vim key bindings. evil-mode is very good. I use Doom Emacs, which uses evil-mode by default.

  fun fact: sublime text also has a vim mode (called "Vintage mode" which is just hilarious) that is built-in but disabled by default, rather than an extension like in vscode. vim keybinds are just the best.
