#12I'll be the guy who brings vim and emacs into another editor's story. Sorry for this, I will try sam and vis for sure though. I recently moved to emacs after 20 years of vim. It is my fifth try with emacs, the other trials ended in weeks. This time I was motivated by emacs excelent support for LSP which I wanted for Go. I use Doom Emacs which is a lot better than Spacemacs in my opinion. After only 1 hour my Go exper…
> if you are a vim user give emacs another try.
Same here. I'm a 8 years vim user and switched to emacs last year, I would recommend the same thing. IMO Emacs is much more powerful and customizable than vim, and evil brings almost everything I need in vim to emacs.

I’m a Vim user who finds the ideas and promise of Emacs intriguing. The reason I don’t switch is your comment about performance, which is echoed by everyone who has used both editors extensively. I’m in Vim all day. A performance hit would hurt. I need my editor to be fast.

#14I really enjoyed reading this, thank you for sharing. Love the screenshots!
Thanks! I'm not the one who shared it here, but I'm the one who wrote the article. It was a blast to play around with Sam. I hope to play around with some other Plan 9 utilities as well.

I'd recommend a batteries-included Emacs distro like Doom to try out. That way, you don't spend a lot of time customising the editor before getting invested.
Vanilla Emacs is plenty fast, but Doom will give you a closer to real world use case, with themes, LSP, Magit and other essentials built in.

IMHO, using spacemacs and doom-emacs (tried both) you're not really trying Emacs because you're using vim shortcuts (that I love, I'm a vim addicted) on top of Emacs infrastructure, nothing bad with this approach, but definitely you're not having an full Emacs experience. I like doom-emacs, do no use it simply because I do not like distribution for text editors (prelude, spacemacs, doom-emacs and so on).
