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/.

Even if I agree it is the `vi thing to do', why go through this every time? Why not bind your own key? Presumably you can.

It's a stupid thing to do *in emacs* because it's inefficient.
Nonsense, it's not any more inefficient than vi in the common case, since if you are doing multiple commands you would keep Control held down.
