Emacs vs vim code#
emacs is an 'operating system' pretend to be an editor, you can eval code to change its behavior, and extend it as you like. const keybindingscore ( (cmd) > freqweight (cmd) keyeasescore (getkeyshortcut (cmd))) the efficiency of a system such as GNU emacs or vi/vim. so now, we have a score for any type of keyboard shortcut. And same for sequences that involves chord. In fact, Vim keybindings are so popular that other editors like Emacs and even many IDEs provide a way to enable/emulate them. score of key sequences can be computed similarly. Which I think sums up the state of the debate in this day and age. vim is a handy editor, you simple type vim filename to open the file, edit, save and close. When you first start with Vim, these commands feel awkward but, with a little practice, they make text editing highly efficient. If anyone has ever truly gone through vim-tutor and thought "Ah, yes, now I understand!" I will eat my shoe.Īll of this is a moot point though because I'm usually just using IntelliJ with vim keybindings. Unlike Emacs, which I learned piece by piece, I was only able to "get" Vim by forcing myself to use it all the time for about a month. Sure, C-c C-x "C-x C-c yyyyy" is a weird way to save and quit, but everything you type turns into text like every other editor ever (except one). I learned Emacs first and the reason wasn't any of the points that are always thrown around-it is just objectively easier to pick up. You can choose to be a TextMate wizard, but you also have to be able to scrape by with one of these guys as well. The most important reason people chose Vim is: When compared to modern graphical editors like Atom and Brackets (which have underlying HTML5 engines, browsers, Node, etc.), Vim uses a sliver of the systems memory and it loads instantly, all the while delivering the same features. Stojí Emacs za to se uit 2020 Emacs rozhodn stojí za to. Vim is ranked 3rd while GNU Emacs is ranked 7th. íká se vak, e vynaloit dalí úsilí stojí za to, protoe ve Vim budete nakonec moci pracovat mnohem rychleji a pohodlnji. I would guess that editing files over an ssh connection is something I will be doing until I retire. O Vim je známo, e má mnohem strmjí kivku uení ne Emacs. I think the staying power of vim/emacs comes from the relatively universal need for programmers to get shit done in a text-only environment. Learning one or the other (or anything else) is not nearly as important as getting really familiar with whatever you choose.
