From Vim to Emacs

Re:From Vim to Emacs by rtpg on Thursday September 25, 2014 @10:01PM (#8370947)

The only thing I really like in vim is the modal editing. Evil replicates all that stuff really well in my opinion.

Plugins in vim are usually pretty poor compared to emacs, and vimscript is frustrating. Emacs Lisp is at least a consistent language, and one that I can figure out how to use much better.

I thought this was the case too, but YouCompleteMe is really terrific for Vim! I wish emacs had something similar.

Haven't actually tried it, but I've come across https://github.com/abingham/emacs-ycmd before and it looks decent? I also use autocomplete-mode which has a bunch of hooks for pretty much every language under the sun. I have it set up with jedi for python and clang for C/C++/Obj-C.
