I've thought long and hard about this for a few years, and I've reached the conclusion that the best of all world is to use Emacs with Evil (vim emulation). So I get Vim modes and keyboard efficiency with the ultimate configurability of Emacs. (Ironically, though, I've been doing a lot of C# lately, and of course there I'm using Visual Studio, lol).
- gnosis 13y agoI have to agree. After over 20 years of very happily using vim and other vi-clones, I'm in the process of making emacs+evil my main editor. Making the switch is slow and painful for this veteran vim user who has perfected his vim environment, but I can already see that the emacs environment that I build will be superior... eventually. Plus, I get the joy of scripting my editor in elisp and eventually guile (I hope). No more vimscript for me! That said, vim is a wonderful editor. Even if vim ultimately isn't as flexible as emacs, it's still incredibly powerful; and there's a lot of cross-fertilization going on between the two editors, with vim users getting inspired by emacs features and packages and writing vim equivalents and vice-versa.
