Everyone would live edit in nano if they weren't cowards
oh but it doesn't have macros
You will use your $1000 keyboard and you will like it
I'm a neovim convert
I'm destined to go to heavim forever.
Emacs is fucking awesome but I won't get anything done once I fall in. I get more done in Vim.
Microsoft Word over wine.
Though I prefer to use it OOTB, no change settins, makes setup easier. I use a script to remove formatting.
Police, this guy right here.

Makes sense, considering the best text editor on emacs is evil-mode.
heaven because i use vim

What the hell is an EMACS?
If you want a short answers it is a text editor. If you want the long answer i might not be the best person for it but here it goes: You start using it as a text editor but it is a bottomless pit of freedom and practicality, where you put 100s of keyboard shortcuts into muscles memory, and one day you will find your self replacing your terminal with emacs. Then you forgot that GUIs exist all together. You will feel an urge to make fun of vim users. Somewhere along the way you'll start waching videos of Stallman, and form a desire to overthrow the proprietary overlords. Turn back now! ;)
wait, what if you're at end stage emacs but you've never used the damn thing
this deserves a literary award and a spot on everyone's bookshelf
Ain't no heaven without Emacs.
I have Neovim, Helix and Emacs installed on my system...
saw someone unironically use vim the other day. i thought people actually using vim was a joke.
Been using it for all of my software development for the last 10 years. It's fantastic.
Here here. vim with syntax highlighting on an 80x20 tty with monospace font... I don't know If I'm more productive than the next guy, and I don't care. This is my happy place.
Why wouldn't one use vim? It's a great editor that works under any circumstance.

It's my go to editor wherever possible.
Learn the keybindings, play a few vim games and install an opinionated suite of plugins like lazyvim.
Before you know it, you too will curse every other editor in existence which doesn't at least offer vim keybindings π
the problem with custom keybindings i have is i work on a lot of different machines (i used 3 different desktop computers yesterday) and keybindings presumably only work on my machine.
That's why vim is so great: it has a ton of power built right into it without customizations, and it's already installed on basically any unix-like system. Unlike, say, vscode, it can do a ton of stuff out of the box without any plugins at all.
Just push your settings to a public github repo or gist and you can wget them. Hell, if you have a domain just setup an easy-to-remember page that redirects to the github link β¦ domain.com/configs. There are so many options for handling this situation.

Some unspecified promises of confort later, or freedom now and forever? Of course I do not go anywhere but remain at that holly Gnu Emacs !
