Should I learn evil mode? Will it benefit me in any way? Never

no, what you should do is build a structural editor DSL for your preferred language(s) and then edit those structures instead of text unless you're working with string primitives

>>61840643
Yeah I'm working on that.

>>61840624
Maybe

>>61841145
Could you elaborate?

>>61840624
How about you fucking try it and then see for yourself. You're posting on 4chan, don't pretend like your time is valuable.

It's a steep learning curve. For example, it was annoying as fuck for me to get my finger from the home row to press ESC until I recently found out(qutebrowser) that you can do this with C-[, which is much more comfy.
Basically, at the initial stages it's just frustrating, it'll take about a week or so until I can somewhat master it, so I'm asking if it's worth the time.

Emacs evil mode is like the ultimate hacker tool from the 90s.

People say "oh emacs is an editor perfect for the 90s."

Well that's kind of like saying a knife is hundreds of years old so we shouldn't use knives because of how old they are.

Knives are not going away and neither are modal editors.
