evil-mode is not without problems either. In particular, it doesn't work very well outside of "regular" code/text buffers. Using it in GDB/scratch/other buffers

evil-mode is not without problems either. In particular, it doesn't work very well outside of "regular" code/text buffers. Using it in GDB/scratch/other buffers is very inconvenient.
So if migrating from Vim to Emacs + evil, you still have to learn how vanilla Emacs works. At least this was my experience when trying it out.
- gnuvince 12y agoYou could add a hook to use evil only in certain modes, for instance: (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook 'evil-local-mode) This activates evil only for modes that derive from prog-mode.
- exDM69 12y agoYes, that's the only reasonable way to go. But you still need to learn how vanilla emacs works.
