As an Emacs user, I can tell you that Emacs is superior in every way, except perhaps for emulating VI, but even there it's doing a good job. Next question?

- jasonm23 11y agoIt's a shame that the truth sounds so much like bullshit, that it's off putting. We could all do a little to reduce the image of Emacs users (and Lisp people in general) as dicks and weenies.
- fallat 11y agoYep, as a 5+ year vim (then nvi) user...emacs was a eye opening text editor and gets way too much hate for no reason...people say emacs is not modal...but everytime you press control, alt, meta, hyper or super, you enter a mode...then every other subsequent key could put you into another mode. It doesnt make sense to vi users at first, but after you swap control with caos lock and a few other adjustments it really is better.
