Emacs is terrible

Name: Anonymous 2010-01-16 10:57

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/.

F12 for faster typing? Are you kidding?

The need to press C is an obstacle by itself. Again, modal editing allows for much faster commands. The fact simple commands are simple to type is no surprise; but I want to see you doing some complex stuff in just a few keystrokes like you can do in Vim.
