I have the same perception as you.<p>I&#x27;ve been a die hard Emacs&#x2F;Vi(m) user for over a decade, and my colleagues impressions went from &quot;What&#x27;s your config like?&quot; to &quot;Ah yeah, I&#x27;d like to learn that for quick edits but never made the switch&quot; to &quot;Still using that?&quot; to &quot;Emacs? What the hell is that?&quot;<p>It&#x27;s never been easier to get into those as today, with multiple community driven starter kits and package managers available for both Vim and Emacs. Yet people don&#x27;t seem to want to put in the effort.<p>So today I&#x27;m labelled among my peers as the Emacs nerd, as if I&#x27;m some kind of elitist software archaeologist even though I&#x27;m mostly minding my own business without evangelizing and I&#x27;m as happy to use the IDE of choice as anyone else in the team.
