- Reading: Emacs or Vim?
I've been slowly learning vim over a couple of years and ocasionally look over at emacs and wonder if its something I should be familiar with. Vim or vi is usually shipped standard with most linux distros and I can't really see any good reason to learn a second set of autistic key combinations. From a glance it looks like emacs avoided vim's 3 mode brand of special but it doesn't seem like theres a clear advantage to one over the other.
Nice blog m8 now fuck off

do you like vim? stick with it.
do you dislike vim? try emacs.
personally, i like vim. my uni made us try both and vim just stuck, so i never went back trying emacs again because i was never unhappy with what i had. whatever you do, though, i would suggest you avoid trying to solve non-existant problems; they say you should pick an editor and git gud with it instead of changing your tools all the time and never learn any of them properly.

Emacs is better, get over it vimcucks.
You can install emacs everywhere. And that one time in your life where you have to do an SSH login and edit a few config files on a remote, you can use nano or ed.
