yes, stick with emacs even when the next shiny new editor appears and begins it's inevitable descent into becoming bloated and slow

I agree, this is why I still use vi :-) Sorry couldn't resist

  • Yes, 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)

  • Neovim has been game changing. Literally nothing I miss from VSCode or Jetbrains now

    • I'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.
