"That being said, I still use vim for quickly editing single files as you can't beat the startup time."
Add (server-start) to your .emacs and keep a running emacs around long-term. Then you can edit single files quickly with emacsclient -t.

- crashandburn4 12y agoYeah, good point, I actually have: alias e='TERM=xterm-256color emacsclient -t' alias ec='emacsclient -c' alias ed='emacs --daemon' in my .zshrc to do just that but for some reason I use vim anyway, due to it's omnipresence on every server box I go into and I suppose muscle memory of typing vim whatever_file_i_want_to_edit .
