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/.

That's a pretty nonsensical conclusion.
That specific example was bad, yes, but this kind of stuff is always useful. For example: at work I often have to edit other people's html. Sometimes I have to mass change/add classes or modify lots of little things quickly. Vim's recording features, regexp support and editing modes (like visual block) make complicated tasks easy.
