Why Kakoune – The quest for a better code editor
This looks awesome (although I think the name could use a little work). It also brings up a question I have for HN:<p>Every few years, I make an attempt to learn to use one of the classic editors like vim or emacs, and inevitably give up after the enormous productivity drop I suffer when writing code. I just can't seem to pick up the muscle memory required to become fast with these tools, and the overwhelming array of customization options leaves me frustrated.<p>The most annoying thing is that I <i>want</i> to learn one of these, because I think I'll enjoy it once I do. Any suggestions from people who have picked one up on how to accomplish this seemingly Herculean task?<p>And, I suppose, I have another another question: is it worth it?
