org-mode is what makes me stop and go "Hmmmm" about finally throwing in the towel and using it. I really hate the key combos though.

A beginner would not want to break compatibility with every tutorial/instruction manual. They would be faced with decisions about the placement of shortcuts they're not even sure what they do. They definitely wouldn't have the perspective to create logical families of shortcuts.

#34I've been using Emacs for over 15 years now and I do almost all my work in it. The two things that I still haven't found good solutions for in emacs are available out of the box in almost every editor today: 1. Autocomplete of methods, classes, variables etc 2.

#36Emacs itself isn't sexy; the sole reason I use emacs is the power and extensibility offered by emacs lisp. If vim used elisp instead of shudders vimscript, I would use it in a heartbeat.
NeoVim is gonna use (already using?) Lua. Would that fit you?

I've written a handful of Vim plugins before. I've generally tried to avoid writing Vimscript as much as possible why writing the bulk of my plugin logic in Python and then just exposing the bindings in Vimscript.
