Emfy: Emacs for You – Quickly set up vanilla Emacs for editing
I have been a vim user all my programming life which is not very long. Can you please provide me straight-to-the-point, opinionated, no words twisted, maybe personal reasoning why I should use Emacs over vim?<p>This is a very honest question.<p>EDIT: This question is more- what motivates <i>you</i> to be an Emacs-er? Why do <i>you</i> use it? I would love to hear your reasoning behind choosing and sticking with an editor.<p>Thanks to umanwizard for the answer. Someone else said that it is best to experience it yourself. But you have to understand that mastering a new editor is a non-trivial time commitment. I am willing to put the time and effort given it is worth it. That is what I am trying to find out.<p>Someone on HN said just some days ago- you cannot simply be a tourist in Emacs and hope to get everything that is good with it.<p>I guess I will learn both.
