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/.

I don't believe the time spent composing a macro could ever vary significantly because of how easy the keys are to press, even if you assume that the user has not learned to operate their modifier keys.

You're completely missing the point. Shaving keystrokes off a task the speed of which is not bound by typing is pointless.
