Reject modern GUI text editors, embrace Vim

Nah that's emacs

Doom emacs is superior

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Emacs is a fine operating system, lacking only a good text editor.

Edit: For the record, I code in emacs every day at work. (Please send help.)

Oh I definitely agree - and highly recommend checking out doom emacs to solve that. It's emacs configured to use vim keybinds instead (and other QOL features). It adds a bit less than 200 add-ons by default, but they're only loaded as needed so startup time is still <1 second

Eh, I’ve got so many keybindings and scripts and changes already and I actually quite like my setup. Not looking to learn vim keybindings beyond the ones I know (essentially how to close vim 😁).
