Yesterday, i had to use neovim for a task on my friend's laptop. There was no WiFi and I couldn't install Emacs. This guy uses Vim a lot. He recently moved to neovim from vim. He had some Ruby codes going. I had to debug some codes(performance issues). I was reluctant to work on it but i had to. After looking at some keybindings and the plugins that guy had written, using vim was pleasure. It was fast. I could shoot up multiple terminals work on that and was instant. I wrote some plugins to indent my code which worked as it's supposed to. I used spacemacs(as it's configured properly) Emacs but there is some load time on spacemacs and there are some issues shooting up multiple spacemacs on terminals. I had just configured and started using prelude which is beautiful Emacs configuration and is fast.
After using neovim that day something hit me that i had blindly had faith in Emacs without using Vim and i use Emacs only for text editing task and terminal. I don't use it for listening music, browser and other task i can always use modern browsers and Spotify for that. Modern browsers and music players are amazing and using those in Emacs there is always a lack of functionality and UI.(modern people don't use those i think and some Emacs users i know use stripped down version of Emacs i.e. microemacs or XEmacs.

I know vi is present by default on every Linux distribution. That keybindings are same as vim and it can be configured so, it is useful for embedded devices and system architecture. I love terminals and love working on tty. That's why i guess i felt instantly tempted to keep on using vim and i loved it's performance. I checked on evil layer before but there are some issues with evil layer in Emacs like it isn't too efficient like vim. I love lisp though and clojure can be edited nicely in Vim.

Is this sin against the church of Emacs? Should i join vi vi vi? I have already dedicated my life on Emacs (check my bio). Am i tempted by the devil?

I broke up with Spacemacs. My configured Prelude, baby i'm in mood for you.

I got so used to vim like bindings on spacemacs, i3wm, firefox(with vimium) in such a way that I was pressing j and k on Microsoft Word like a moron and wondering why that shit isn't scrolling up or down.

Am I the only one who seems to have trust issues when saving code in my text editor? Whenever I want to save I press Ctrl+X+S like 5 times just to be sure.

NB: Ctrl+X+S is equivalent to Ctrl+S in Emacs/Spacemacs

Spacemacs is my favorite editor!

I like it more than vim and emacs combined.

Ok. Vim is absolutely brilliant. But sublime in vintage mode ( sublime text with some of the vim capabilities ) is more brilliant. Today I just found out that this code editor (sublime) has this feature implemented and I'm happier than ever. I will use both of them and I won't need any over text editor ( although I have to try to emacs and spacemacs ).

Emacs vs Vim? Why not both!
I found a gem of an editor called Spacemacs which combines the power of Emacs and the editing capabilities of Vim! Already replaced intelliJ with spacemacs for my scala and Java projects :)

Started to use Spacemacs because using the mouse is more and more painful. Such a joy and such a relief. And the learning curve was easier than I thought, maybe because I knew some vim before and Spacemacs is very friendly to vim users.

Fuck! I spent the last 3 hours trying to set up inline preview for latex for spacemacs but it won't compile cause of fucking warnings! 😂 But at least I know why my references can be inconsistent cause hyperref package is fucking trash, and it's supposedly the best choice for cross-referencing there is.

Alright, rant over. Will try look for workarounds tomorrow.

Any Spacemacs users here? I'm debating a switcheroo from sublime. I know my way around vim, so general usage shouldn't be a problem.

I'm more interested in the long term use. I guess since its just some kind of emacs layer, it should be pretty fucking stable for the foreseeable future, but how is the plugin support?

I'm currently doing React at work, and a couple of other Node side projects. Syntax highlight should be sorted out for me. I would like to tailor it somewhat for productivity, like a good file explorer, integrated terminal and other auto tidbits like auto brackets, auto close tags and whatever else. Any good tips on plugins for me?

Also, looking for a nice color theme.

Does any of you guys have experience with Elm development in Vim or Spacemacs?
I want to write more stuff in Elm but I didnt manage to set any if the both up to have useful auto completion or a jump to symbol feature. I hoped elm-layer + global company was enough in spacemacs, but it didn't work.

I enjoy spacemacs alot, Org-mode is powerfull af

Spacemacs.. So fully-featured I can barely believe it

This week's discoveries:
* Spacemacs
* PlantUML
* Clojure

It's been a good week!

ORG Mode for Emacs - Best note taking application ever.

Does anybody else find it better than Evernote, oneNote like I do too ?

Can't believe I am actually falling more and more in love with spacemacs.. it just keeps delivering

Spacemacs, espresso and instrumental songs in the background.

What's the best text editor and why is it spacemacs?

Spacemacs with vim bindings: the best of two worlds. It gets even better with tmux

Coding in spacemacs on Arch with i3, completely removing the need for mouse

Spacemacs. Because it combines beat parts from vim and you can customize the hell out of it.
