Emacs
I tend to use Emacs with evil-mode for any kind of extended editing and programming, unless I'm using an IDE (with a Vim plugin of course!) in the latter case.
One of the disadvantages of evil-mode is that there's a high chance that advanced commands might not as expected in Emacs. For example,
:normal ... commands do not work in evil-mode. Also Vim regex and Emacs regex are not really compatible - so your Vim regex know-how will not translate directly to Emacs. So, when it comes to raw editing Vim probably is the better editor from my experience.However, with evil-mode one can easily use Emacs editing functionality as well which comes with the downside of haing to learn two disparate kind of editing paradigmns.
This is what I have been using for a couple of years and I would recommend this someome wanting to transition from Vim to an Emacs workflow.
I have been trying this configuration package recently and I am quite impressed with the low startup overhead of the Doom configuration.
- blog has a treasure trove of Emacs knowledge both written by herself andaggregated links.
