pick one faggot

Because modal editing is shit.

I use either vim or vs code with amVim plugin.

What does it offer over regular Emacs with evil mode?

>>59792346
With its layer system you're far less likely to get .emacs bankruptcy and it also comes with a more complete user-interface out of the box. Outside of editing you have to use some emacs key bindings, but I think that's the same with evil as well. I like to think of spacemacs as Vim with a decent configuration language. Just back up your .emacs and .emacs.d and try it out.

>>59791671
Too slow

>>59792651
ever tried using it in daemon mode? applies to emacs, too.

>>59791671
Org-mode convinced me to switch to Emacs, and being a Vim user, the logical choice seemed to go for Spacemacs. But I used it for less than 30 minutes and switched to plain Emacs.

Why? I fell for the same trap when I first started Vim. Wanting to have a "perfect" configuration, with tons of functionality, I chose a Vim "distribution" (it was SPF-13 I think). But it made learning just twice as difficult. Now on top of learning Vim (which is quite some work already), I had to learn the bazillion plug-ins included with it, all the custom keybindings (that might override the default ones) and so on.

In the end I deleted everything, and started an new Vim config from scratch. This way, I was always full aware of everything that was happening. I only added plug-ins when I needed them, keeping the bloat to a minimum.

And I did exactly the same for Emacs. I just started yesterday and it's probably gonna take days until I get it to a functional state, but at least I have everything under control.

I started with evil-mode, ivy/counsel, and general, and I'll see where this takes me.

> waiting 10 seconds for your editor to boot

lol what a meme

>>59791671
But i already use vscode

Because I'd like to build my emacs up and learn as I go along.

>>59795244
This.

>>59791671
why should I use this over vim

Is evil mode worth it or is it better to stick to vanilla emacs

>>59797268
Personally I think that vanilla Emacs is the best. Once you learn the Emacs keybindings they are honestly better and more convienent than vi/vim.

>pressing ctrl is hard

>>59793094
Good strategy, and it may be better to learn a bit Emacs key controls.
But Spacemacs is really great when you used to work with Vim. Really comfy.

>>59800228
Pressing ctrl 100..0 times can be annoying, or even painful.
Vim bindings are objectively better.

>>59791671
comes with too much retarded shit

the one thing i had from spacemacs though is the whole space prefix thing

>>59800555
meant to say "the one thing i wish i had from spacemacs"

>>59800499
If your hands are so fucked that you can't handle pressing control every so often in between typing shit then you can even rebind it to fucking capslocks.

>>59791671
same reason i use a lot of shit.

what i have jus werks and i don't feel like learning something else.

ooor... I can use a software with sane controls. Like Emacs with Evil for example.
