I am in my 10 years cycle in which I will go back to emacs.
Emacs is so powerful but has a different terminology, and vscode was so easy and snappy...so I got accustomed to VSCode, but it is becoming slower and it has a lot of telemetry attached to it.
Is it time to give emacs another try
- indy 2mo agoyes, stick with emacs even when the next shiny new editor appears and begins it's inevitable descent into becoming bloated and slow
- devnonymous 2mo agoI agree, this is why I still use vi :-) Sorry couldn't resist
- ncphillips 2mo agoNeovim has been game changing. Literally nothing I miss from VSCode or Jetbrains now
- maleldil 2mo agoI'm missing a good way to turn on/off plugins and settings depending on the directory. Eg turning off rust-analyzer on some projects, or using pyright instead of mypy as the LSP.
- speedster217 2mo agoDoesn't lazy.nvim have some support for that? I use the LazyVim distribution but I remember something in the docs about per-repo plugin settings
- flexagoon 2mo agoReal programmers use butterflies
- tmtvl 2mo agoYada yada yada, M-x butterfly.
- indy 2mo agoYes, the vi family of editors is just as valid a choice as emacs (and have arguably been the better choice for longer, it's just that personally I could never get on with modal editing)
- tengwar2 2mo agoWell, you know what they say: if Emacs is a religion, vi is a cult that is difficult to work out how to quit.
- iLemming 2mo agoYou just don't know it yet. Emacs vims better. Source: I'm a die-hard vimmer.

- arnoooooo 2mo agoEmacs + evil is the best Vim.
- zvmaz 2mo agoI came back to Emacs after a hiatus of several years. I'm sticking with Emacs for the foreseeable future hopefully.
- schonfinkel 2mo agoEmacs is also bloated (if want it to be), but in this case, it's good bloat, the kind that you naturally gravitate towards, eventually it might take your notes, emails, agenda and so on...
