Comment on emacs

sigh emacs-er here, yes you can do anything you want in emacs, but the defaults can be confusing for newbies and CUI users (vscode, jetbrains, etc). That said, like vim users, I feel handicapped when using something like vscode. Once you move towards vim or better yet meow/kakoune editing modes, you will never want to use anything else, because everything else is soooo slow when navigating, inspecting, and editing code/text. With tree-sitter and lsp support now built-in, there really isn’t anything vscode offers over emacs anymore 😅

I genuinely think it’s funny that I’m a post that isn’t making fun of Emacs you felt the need to defend Emacs.

It’s making fun of Emacs users for always finding ways to talk about Emacs. (Which I don’t think is a real problem anymore)

I use vscode with vim plugin. I find this to be a pretty great combo, for me at least

  VS Code + vim plugin is sooo slooow. I’m happy it works for you but I can’t wait to finish on boarding my onboarding buddy so I can go back to vim where I belong

What does CUI mean?

  sorry, meant CUA (Common User Access). Its type of editor that uses the ctrl+c / ctrl+v / ctrl+x for things like copy / paste / cut, etc. Most popular editors use this type of editing mode. Its also known as a non-modal editor.
