"Sakishi is based on Emacs key bindings. There is a very deep and logical reason for this, but for the purposes of this document, I will just state it as my preference." I genuinely love Emacs people.

I once set out to learn Emacs, but the stupidly multi-key bindings for very basic things (Ctrl-X Ctrl-C to copy, etc) turned me off. Deep and logical my ass.

I don't mean this to be a striking criticism of Emacs, however, I had the exact same experience. To be fair I've been using Vim for many years so that may have influenced how difficult it was for me to understand the Emacs key bindings. I didn't even have enough time to check out all the cool extensions

I once set out to learn Vi, but the absurd modal editing and convoluted key combinations for basic tasks made it a nightmare. Efficient and logical, my ass!

I find it hard to believe you encountered a single key combination when starting to use vi. Maybe you got far enough to see "ctrl-v"? There are 108 unmodified choices before you'd ever need a combination.

As an emacs user I genuinely believe vim bindings are better, but emacs is more powerful than at least vim (I can’t speak for neovim).

Edit: and I really do wish there was more unbiased content relating to the pros and cons of either.

Actually it's M-w to copy. C-x C-x is to quit.

Checking out this repo just made me realize that a good way to prevent getting spammed pull requests in your repo is to maintain it in a langauge other than English.

I've worked for maybe ten years in the open source space, as a maintainer and contributor. I've seen thousands of pull requests in that time. Some great. Most ok. Some terrible. All made by people who want to contribute in some way for free. I've seen close to zero spam pull requests. Are these common?
