On: Hacking Your Keyboard

Emacs had its chance. It lost to Vim, and then VSCode ate what remained of its lunch.

VScode ate everyone's launch, even Jetbrains must be cursing Microsoft every day.

That said, as emacs user, I see vim users switching to emacs/evil by the day.

I switched recently from Vim to Evil after more than two decades, mainly because I prefer proportional fonts these days, and also because of Magit (I’m really annoyed by “free” Git GUIs going the subscription route after building up a big enough user base).

The road has been bumpy so far, but I’m slowly getting used to Emacs’ idiosyncrasies. The journey has been worth it.

The sound of my eyes rolling ever harder at tech faddism.

If eye movement makes an audible sound, you might want to get those checked out :)
