Why should I use emacs over vim? It's so complicated. All

>>61862711
vim doesn't come with a terminal emulator, that's the main reason I use emacs.
But if all you want to do is text editing, vim should be fine.

if you need to write notes, org-mode is your friend

Neovim?

>>61862711
Vim doesn't have Tetris

you don't really need to use either desu

Coding itself is made more powerful with emacs.

In emacs you can automate just about everything and assign automated tasks to keybinds and you practice those keybinds like kung fu moves until you get really powerful at them.

>All I need to do is write notes and code.

then you shouldn't use either emacs or vim.

It's a crucial flaw, they definitely must include emacs into POSIX specification because of that.

>>61862711
You shouldn't, emacs is a social construct, a figment of the sick freetard imagination. Vi is inherently the part of the UNIX specification.

I've started this thread before. The best answer was because you can emulate vi or just set the controls to the same as vi.
Been trying to play around with both of them emacs seems a lot more functional, I liked the tutorial and poking around in the program a lot more than vi. I just like vi's control scheme a lot more but it just feels icky trying to use it with emacs so I'm still not sure which one I want to use. Still kind of leaning toward vi even though emacs just seems better if you can figure out how to use it.

what?

>>61864438
what advantage does emacs or vim have over sublime? be realistic

Emacs isn't used for the keybinds, as you can probably guess. It's used for the extensibility because it molds itself neatly onto whatever you are trying to work with and transparently handles things for you without fucking things up with external dependencies. Org-mode is also godlike for notetaking.

You can use Vim keys in Emacs without wasting any of Emacs' functionality.

What advantage is there to sublime over emacs or vim

>>61864490
Oh, in that way? I agree.

Emacs is not complicated, it's just huge. You only have to learn a dozen shortcuts to use it efficiently.
