- MichaelDickens 12y agoWhat if you want an editor with a powerful customization language, sophisticated notetaking (org-mode), directory management (dired), as well as modal editing?

- arnoooooo 12y agoIn my point of view, Emacs is a great platform with a bad editor interface, Vim is a bad platform with a perfect editing interface. Emacs having amazing extensibility, it makes perfect sense to me to give it a Vim-like interface.
