After over a decade of Vim, I’m hooked on Emacs

Ah see what really bugs me is that most vim modes do try to be a complete vim mode (and the fact that they never succeed just adds insult to injury), they always try to be a vim emulator instead of providing vim-like keybindings that make sense in the context of the editor.

I do appreciate that I'm very much in the minority here though.

I'd argue that evil is the exception to this. It's vim emulation is astoundingly good.

Neovim has a plugin api that let's it be used as a "real vim" back end for text editor plugins.

And I'm still searching for the good Python and PHP IDE that implements it. I'm hoping that Jetbrains will, as I use IdeaVIM in a few if their products, but right now I always have to switch between the IDE for general editing and VIM 8 or NeoVim for terrific macros or some hardcore surgery. Having that power right in PyCharm or any other decent IDE would be a dream.
