I am in my 10 years cycle in which I will go back to emacs.
Emacs is so powerful but has a different terminology, and vscode was so easy and snappy...so I got accustomed to VSCode, but it is becoming slower and it has a lot of telemetry attached to it.
Is it time to give emacs another try
- indy 9d agoyes, stick with emacs even when the next shiny new editor appears and begins it's inevitable descent into becoming bloated and slow
- devnonymous 9d agoI agree, this is why I still use vi :-) Sorry couldn't resist
- indy 9d agoYes, the vi family of editors is just as valid a choice as emacs (and have arguably been the better choice for longer, it's just that personally I could never get on with modal editing)
- ncphillips 9d agoNeovim has been game changing. Literally nothing I miss from VSCode or Jetbrains now
- maleldil 9d agoI'm missing a good way to turn on/off plugins and settings depending on the directory. Eg turning off rust-analyzer on some projects, or using pyright instead of mypy as the LSP.
- speedster217 9d agoDoesn't lazy.nvim have some support for that? I use the LazyVim distribution but I remember something in the docs about per-repo plugin settings

- tmtvl 9d agoYada yada yada, M-x butterfly.
- tengwar2 9d agoWell, you know what they say: if Emacs is a religion, vi is a cult that is difficult to work out how to quit.
- iLemming 8d agoYou just don't know it yet. Emacs vims better. Source: I'm a die-hard vimmer.

- arnoooooo 8d agoEmacs + evil is the best Vim.
- zvmaz 8d agoI came back to Emacs after a hiatus of several years. I'm sticking with Emacs for the foreseeable future hopefully.
