This is awesome. But one question as I'm not so familiar with emacs: Why do they punish someone when trying to use emacs but not vi? Why do you see emacs as something works?
I'm very partial to doom emacs. I love the emacs ecosystem but the default editor made me want to cry, doom emacs gives the awesome text editing of vim with the awesome ecosystem of emacs (significantly smoother than viper too)
Kakoune is probably the only editor that respects the UNIX philosophy, and I love it. But I also don't like how there's no linter and formatter for the same - maybe a daemon-based approach is probably better?
I've really been enjoying Helix, which took a lot of inspiration (including key binds, mostly) from Kakoune. It's just missing a plugin system to be perfect, but built in LSP support is soo nice
