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/.

That's kind of an impasse, because both emacs and vi are very extensible. You might as well both write your own editor from the grounds up, and then sit and shout at each other that "if I wanted that feature I'd just write it."
