To emacs with evil? If so, how did it go?
- scruple 4y agoI struggled to make the change. I think I tried half a dozen times to go from (neo)vim to Emacs and it never stuck. My problem was that I kept reaching for spacemacs and Doom Emacs, etc., right out of the gate, and I would be mystified by Emacs itself and Emacs Lisp as a result. Two things helped get me into Emacs full-time (and this is after > 15 years of using vim): 1. I went step-by-step through Susam's Emfy Emacs config [0]. That helped me understand some of the basics at a foundational level. I extended that base configuration a little bit and became comfortable with the environment. 2. I then went step-by-step through the entire "Emacs from Scratch" playlist that System Crafters put out [1]. I pushed my personal configuration pretty far with that over the course of 2-3 months. I eventually moved to Doom Emacs and married in pieces of my own configuration. That's been my daily driver for months now.
