vim user for 10+ years "Journeyman" user vi or plain vim when I have to no plugins quick edits and remote shells "vim when I have to, Emacs when I can" What about emacs?

...... One language to conﬁgure and extend the editor Modal editing

Emacs -- non-modal editing by default evil mode -- extensible vi layer for Emacs god mode Emacs conﬁgurations

conﬁguring emacs -- a favourite yak to shave My own -- https://www.btbytes.com/source/intentional_emacs/tree/ http://aaronbedra.com/emacs.d/ (ﬁrst google hit, *org-mode) http://pages.sachachua.com/.emacs.d/Sacha.html (this week in emacs, *org-mode) More complete "distributions" -- batsov's Prelude spacemacs spacemacs

spacemacs - evil + god modes A community-driven Emacs distribution Credo -- The best editor is neither Emacs nor Vim, it's Emacs and Vim! Installation

SPC f e d -- edit config SPC f e R -- reload config SPC h d f -- describe fn SPC h d v -- describe variable SPC h d k -- describe key SPC f f -- fuzzy find files SPC f t -- neotree SPC w - -- split windows horizontal SPC w / -- split windows vertically What I like

sensible set of defaults can use either key-bindings. sometimes modal-editing is nicer fast "leader key" is easy on the hands Package highlights

disclaimer: i'm not a "power" user of editors avy like vim's easymotion powerline magit (git integration) neotree like nerdtree projectile [project management]
