I tried Emacs for a while thee other year. It has a lot of the PIM apps Linux is really missing and I liked the "s-expression" motions but for the most part I didn't really like the editor. I do prefer readline in Emacs mode though, everyone should learn that.

I like Helix for how it balances a batteries-included approach but without feeling bloated. However, I find the keybindings to be a watered-down version of Kakoune; I feel like the Helix devs sort of missed the point of noun first.

Thanks, I use a Kinesis Advantage 2 and it’s a big help. I’ve found avoiding holding down keys, with thumbs or otherwise, has been the biggest help.

ouhh bet thats nice. im rocking some 50€ aliexpress print/pcb that i put some old switches/caps onto. legitimately impressed, best keyboard i ever used, never going back to traditional kbs.
i like micro. i have arrow keys bound to a layer beneath my homerow so i get a similar feel to vim without actually being modal, and i get to keep my normie shortcuts. not a big fan of ides, theres just too much going on for me
There is nothing better for making your workflow your own using your editor and the tools you already have (or can easily write in whatever you want) than #kakounenotesfollow.

Vim has a better text editing experience, but Emacs is superior in every other way (customization, packages, file search, etc). So I suppose the answer is Emacs with evil-mode.

I've always liked the vim philosophy and usually have vim keybindings no matter the editor I've used. So vim. But, I also frequently default to basic editor methods so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Vim. Feels like forever now; I was introduced to vim in -96 if memory serves. Over the years I tested others from time to time - but always went back. Now I’m old and it will be hard to move me over to anything else.

Before vim, it was mostly emacs. And I kept using gnus for a long time - can’t remember now, but probably until the Gmail-age.

Vim over here, though I'm not into editor wars, use what makes sense to you. Though if I were to start a war, I would be on Team Learn One Editor Extremely Deeply and Use it For Life. Although I guess "AI" has made that irrelevant for most people.
