    Emacs sucks. Vim is so much better. And vscode is okay.

    Go ahead. Down vote me. I don’t care. This isn’t Reddit lol.

        I’m going to give what I’ve realized newer folks to Vim think is a scorching hot take: VimL is nice. Theyre the same editor commands you use in your day to day life, even if you’re using NeoVim + Lua, just all written out in a file.

        That said, using NeoVim + Lua makes it far easier to organize your config, which also makes it easier to write more complex configs. It’s like the difference between building a shed around back for your home office vs building a cathedral. Its fine to work in a shed, but once you know you can build a cathedral, you’re kinda tempted to just up and do it

        Vim has vim9 script now which is very similar to common scripting languages like Typescript.

        Vim also doesn’t need tons of configuration.

        At first maybe. But when you get your vim config well honed over time you’re good. Plus there’s things like pathogen or other frameworks to add plugins and stuff.

    You guys recommend VSCodium over VSCode. Is there a working sync solution similar to the one built into VSCode where you can sync all settings and extensions between machines?

      I genuinely think it’s funny that in a post that isn’t making fun of Emacs you felt the need to defend Emacs.

      It’s making fun of Emacs users for always finding ways to talk about Emacs. (Which I don’t think is a real problem anymore)

      I use vscode with vim plugin. I find this to be a pretty great combo, for me at least

        VS Code + vim plugin is sooo slooow. I’m happy it works for you but I can’t wait to finish on boarding my onboarding buddy so I can go back to vim where I belong

        I do too… but it’s not perfect. If you use the extension that uses neovim in the background is seems is the best option but still I miss my “never needing a mouse” feeling I had on emacs. I mean maybe is just lack of knowing keybindings… but back on the day when I used spacemacs it was all so intuitive.

        I also miss magit…

    I generally code in VSCode, and manage org-roam notes and information in Emacs. Works well enough for me.
