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/.

If you actually learned Vim I'm pretty sure you'd change in your mind.

"But you can extend Emacs to do that!" is the silliest argument you Emacsers use. If I'm going to extend Emacs to do the same stuff that Vim does I'll rather use Vim.
