I don't even think you read the title.

Edit: Downvote me all you want. I'm not the one using VSCode to manage my emails!

VSCode is a common denominator. While enough for most, it doesn't do the job for everyone. There is nothing bad about it one way or another.

i don't think so...vscode has been a bit hard for me to adopt

..because it doesn't have a good emacs keybinding.

In general, I find it kind of cluttered, and overwhelming. I definitely don't like that it's made by microsoft.

If i'm working on a big project, I don't see a reason not to use a jetbrains ide.

If i'm on something smaller, or just need to edit some text, it's much easier in emacs than vscode

This is an article about productivity software, not editors. Emacs blows VSCode out of the water here.

I use VSCode sometimes, it’s very cool.

But emacs/vi pros are fucking fast. It looks like magic the first few times you see it (are u a wizard?) and for some it’s worth the learning curve.

Thank you for the detailed write up. (I hope the author sees this)

I'm always impressed with Emacs users that are capable of such discipline. I've use Emacs well over forty years, with only a few years of interruption, but I have never had a stable or well organized configuration. It's inspirational to see other's use of Emacs.

I'm disorganized, and I'm a hoarder (right now, my bedroom has at least 100 books stacked on the floor in different piles). Like my fluid Emacs configuration, the books are all attractive possibilities of what to read or try out next.

Sorry, off-topic question: does somebody happen to know what tool was used to make this page? I really like the style.

His nano-emacs is one of the cleanest I’ve seen: https://github.com/rougier/nano-emacs

I did a short interview with Nicolas not long ago (very short): https://www.syntopikon.com/workflows/nicolas-rougier/
