Well, this is my first "vim vs emacs" thread and usually this kind of thread don't end well...
I am a vim user, because my I had to choose an editor and I think I'm halfway through the learning curve.
Since I wanted to be sure I would go with the editor that fits me the most, I tried to use emacs for a week.
However, it feels sort of bloated and archaic.
What am I missing compared with people who like emacs?

she looks like a fucking grandma now
what the fuck happened?
Both are abandonware from the 70s, I wouldn't worry so much about their differences and use a real text editor instead.
>>53913999
It would have been a nice april fool
>vim vs emacs
Evil mode put an end to the editor war.

What to Vim users believe?
Evil mode took the best thing about Vim - the modal editing capability and almost perfectly emulated it to Emacs. Most, if not all, of the best plugins for Vim have also followed in ports. The only thing that was left behind was the awful vimscript which was the reason Vim never grew beyond being a meme text editor.
I use Spacemacs

I'm vim user cause I did learn code on school computer with only with. And I'm use to use it. I think about try fully moded atom but it's looks so fat.
>>53914548
Why would one even use atom? This is the perfect hipster editor, "sublime text is too popular" tier.

Because it is.
Emacs is pretty much the definition of feature creep.
It can do fucking anything really.
It's a shell, it's a mail client, it's a browser, it has it's own package manager.
If you read anything about how RMS uses his computer you get the impression that Emacs is his OS and GNU/Linux is just a bootloader for it.
But GNU never cared about the meme of >muh unix philosophy.
>>53914588
Yeah, but we should not trust RMS about emacs.
Since it's his pride, he keeps shilling it and shits on everything that might be a rival.

kek, you've sum up in one sentence his whole "my computing" section on his blog.

slime.. sadly theres no real common lisp plugin for vim
Serious question...why not just use Sublime?
>>53914670
I like Vim because I am in the terminal. And with plug-ins it does whatever I want. Hell I can do bash commands from inside vim. Quick vim and I can type a compile command. I want to pair program I make an user account and let someone ssh in.
Do emacs and sublime work in terminal? I honestly don't know.
>>53914566
I like too use open-source and free software
>>53914204
Is evil 100% vim-compatible in that all vim commands, keybindings and modes are perfectly emulated?
Spacemacs.org
>>53915394
Why spacemacs is better than evilmode ?
>>53914522
damn i never heard of that, thanks anon
