Emacs User Survey (2022)
I’ve been using Emacs for 6 years now. But recently it became clear to me that it’s really optimised for Linux and doesn’t work as well on Mac and Windows[1]. On top of that I kept running into performance issues with large files.It took me a while, but I’ve finally adjusted to Sublime and am quite satisfied for now. It’s snappy and doesn’t break as easily. The only issue I have is that, unlike Vim and Emacs, Sublime macros seem to record movement by characters, not text objects. So if I move cursor by words inside a macro and then replay it in another place, where words have different lengths, the macro won’t do what it should. For those cases I’ll still switch to Vim probably.[1]: On Windows my config doesn’t work at all. I have no idea why. I didn’t have the energy to debug it.
