"There are two kinds of overkill: the sort of overkill that lets you write Gameboy emulators, or Enterprise overkill; the sort of overkill that’s only bloat. I have no patience for useless things."
Vim style is not Vim. Tons of editors and IDEs support Vim style key bindings. Not one of them works for me. Even evil mode, which has undeniably put the most effort into duplicating Vim features, breaks my expectations enough to be annoying and sending me back to Vim.
One example is the } motion (and its corresponding backward version) which in evil mode makes use of Emacs forward-paragraph function. This function is customized by a lot of major modes such that the behaviour is highly file-specific. I much prefer Vim's predictable motions which are the same for every file.
It's mainly different enough so that an experienced Vim user is forced to relearn keybindings and habits while also searching for plugins able to replace the ones in Vim.
Also Emacs cannot be 100% Vim compatible because their control schemes are so different, example: The cursed Esc key which doesn't work properly even in Spacemacs. There's a huge difference between Emacs with some Vim commands and Vim with Emacs functionality.
So, I'm staying with Vim and if others prefer Emacs that's fine too.
In all seriousness, I'd prefer to edit code in Sublime Text, or if I want something on the CLI just use vim. All I really need when I'm messing with a bash script or something is some syntax highlighting and I'm happy.
