SCollins1388yRecently someone at work has got me into spacemacs it's all the vim commands ported into Emacs and give you a bunch of nice features such as git gutter and linting

iDanoo9028y@SCollins Ill be honest, I've never tried emacs. I think I'll take a look at spacemacs tomorrow.

SCollins1388y@iDanoo Emacs is really powerful and spacemacs help's by allowing you to use it like vim. Use 'Spc + :' for a searchable list of all commands and there key combinations and GOOD LUCK. It's alot to remember...

iannes123448yI don't usually have a need to use a command line editor so I usually use something like VS code or Atom.

Back in the 1980s vi was wonderful compared to having to do everything with ed.
Fast forward a few years, and Emacs is wonderful compared to having to do everything in vi....

zshh38568yI always used Nano, then a colleague saw me using it and he freaked out. He showed me some Vim stuff and from that point I've just used Vim. If you learn the shortcuts it's awesome.
What's your favorite command line text editor and why is it Vim?
