I've never used it. I like VIM a great deal, but there's certainly room for improvement. Emacs would be a big change and I'm scared. I'm constantly learning about my system and how to do things, and I don't know if I have brain space to learn a new text editor too.

    Clay, my fren, I'm 67 years old, brain space rotting away more every day ☺

    I agree that Emacs is different but it's different in a good way. Also, some smart person made a vim emulation mode for Emacs. Actually, I think there are several vim emulators.

    End result is that I haven't had to re-learn new key bindings; I just use the same vi/vim key bindings I've used for 40 years.

    Like "Green Eggs and Ham", Try it, you'll like it. ☺
