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'd also like to take issue with your "they have to use high level constructs". You could build them together from other commands if you want to, but, and I shouldn't have to tell a programmer this, it's a stupid thing to do. It's like saying that you shouldn't use high level control structures because you have conditional goto.
