      Thank you. I had not read that before. The novice’s first steps are just wonderful.

      This is awesome. But one question as I’m not so familiar with emacs: Why do they punish someone when trying to use emacs but not vi? Why do you see emacs as something works?

        Not sure, but I think emacs at least used to have a reputation as a resourse hog and bloated. So maybe that?

    emacs is not that hard. You can learn emacs in one day—every day.

      I really f’ing love Emacs, and… this is true. I’m still constantly learning, 3 decades in.

      But that’s part of its appeal - it’s a constantly evolving, you tweak and modify it for your needs, and you grow and change together.

        I’m very partial to doom emacs. I love the emacs ecosystem but the default editor made me want to cry, doom emacs gives the awesome text editing of vim with the awesome ecosystem of emacs (significantly smoother than viper too)

          it always entertains me when a vim aficionado regurgitates the “just missing a good editor” joke, given that one of the editors Emacs offers is a pretty comprehensive clone of vim.

          (personally, I never had any problem with the default editor when I migrated to it from vi, though I was using a keyboard that already had ctrl next to a.)

      I’ve really been enjoying Helix, which took a lot of inspiration (including key binds, mostly) from Kakoune. It’s just missing a plugin system to be perfect, but built in LSP support is soo nice
