Do you use emacs?

If you do, how did you get started using it?

If you don't, why not?

I started using emacs when I first started to learn Clojure, since the book Clojure for the Brave and True recommend it so highly. I couldn't really get a feel for it at the time, but I knew I'd probably start using it again sometime.

I got back to using emacs when I found out about Spacemacs. Finally, I was able to be productive without needing to memorize everything, since the layout put all the bindings right in front of me. I felt so powerful!

Customizing Spacemacs turned out to be too much for me, though, and I found myself looking for an alternative. That's when I realized that I had learned enough to feel comfortable with just emacs and a few packages. And now here we are today.

I don't. As to why, well, you see there's this thing called Vim.

@jmclemo6 which can also be added into emacs btw. We got evil mode and vim bindings are included by default in spacemacs.

Thing is like an os I swear. Although I use Vim more when dealing with our servers. Much more convenient and it is already there.

I do, for pretty much the same reasons you listed: lisp development. In my case it was for common lisp and elisp (elisp being already built in)

I still use it, but only when convenienr.

@AleCx04 Look into TRAMP

@jmclemo6 I like vim too, but I *love* emacs

I don't.
I use VIM!!!

What’s that?
