> You can also easily create a second "view" into a file with the Zerox command, which is a nice way to look at two parts of a file at once.

Emacs has this too. You can look at a buffer from different windows, or clone-indirect-buffer in order to edit multiple parts of it simultaneously.

You're right, it's been so long since I used emacs I forgot it's a thing. Vim does it too, I think, but I only use vim to quickly edit a file.
