Emacs is terrible

It's simply impossible to become as quick in Emacs as one might be in vim. I've been trying, I've really been trying hard to like Emacs, because I want a decent IDE for Lisp. But it's just terrible. The editor is always getting in my way.

I have a new purpose in life. To clone vim in Common Lisp. This isn't reinventing the wheel, because whatever vi-mode they have in Emacs is still corrupted. A new viitor must surface, pure and handsome, with all the Lisp-friendliness of Emacs and all the awesomeness of vi.

I just wanted to get this off my chest, /prog/.

Vim suits my needs just fine. It's especially great when you're working with long files (say a JavaScript file) - the folding + multiple viewports + keyboard navigation + modal-based editing combo is really unbeatable for those. When you get really good at Vim, things become really automatic and the editor "follows" your toughts; moving to a certain portion of the code or doing a search & replace becomes a bit like typing, or poking one's nose. You don't really think about doing it: it just happens.
