This looks pretty cool, there seems to be Vim shortcuts [1] and even theming. Judging from your screenshot, Solarized Dark is the default theme? But I'd have to wait until its release (or beta, should I be so lucky!) to consider moving from standard vim editor and Solarized in my Xresources.

I always wonder why I learned emacs over vim. There is never support for it.

  Because when you learn elisp, it runs circles around vim.

      I'm pretty sure that vi hasn't been distributed for years. All the vi's in modern distros are just pointers to vim.

        vi is still included in the arch linux base system
      - omaranto 13y ago
        That's probably not true, in that among the myriad distros there's probably one in which vi is nvi.

    true, but that's why we have evil mode[1], so we can have our elisp cake and eat our delicous sugary vim bindings too. [1] https://gitorious.org/evil/pages/Home https://gitorious.org/evil/pages/Home

  Don't feel bad, there's nothing worse (for editing) than using a half baked version of vim in another editor. The best of implementations will leave you with an uncanny valley feeling of disgust. I'd rather use a non-modal editor, all or nothing.
  - DennisP 13y ago
    Funny, I'm just the opposite. I'd rather have the basics than nothing. Mostly I've used VsVim and Viemu. They're both pretty decent. (Viemu is better though, it's got everything I normally use except for :norm. VsVim is missing column mode and the vap doesn't work.)

      I've built a suite of useful shortcuts that only work with my vimrc, which isn't a problem since installing my config from my github repo is a 3 step process, but when I'm running in some "vim-mode" editor I find myself tripping up on not having these things that I've committed to muscle memory and it ends up killing my productivity. At least if I know the editor is always in insert mode I can adjust with the occasional :w here.
      - DennisP 13y ago
        I could see that being annoying. VsVim and Viemu both support a vimrc.

  You could always use emacs evil-pluging.

  I learned Emacs because there was nothing that supported Common Lisp editing the way Emacs did.

  You can try this out https://atom.io/packages/atomic-emacs https://atom.io/packages/atomic-emacs. It's not yet complete, and I'm still working on it, but I think it's a start. Feature requests are welcome :)
