From Vim to Emacs in fourteen days (2015)

Re:From Vim to Emacs in fourteen days (2015) by kenbolton on Thursday March 11, 2021 @06:04PM (#26430156)

Emacs user for the years in college, with the occasional forced dip into vi.

Vim user for ten years after college with a couple of forced dips into Eclipse and other IDEs, with vi keybindings where available.

Evil emacs user for about the last ten years. Magit makes me happy. Tramp wins the "but vi is everywhere" conversation. Org-mode wins.

I won't hire someone unwilling to give emacs an honest effort. Switching back to emacs remains the best professional decision I have made.

An employer has no business dictating what text editor their employees use, if they're productive.
