    patience

    people who used emacs for 20 years still learn some stuff :)

    join irc, or mastodon or any place to chat with people, it helps getting some things faster

    watch emacsrocks, videos from a few years ago but excellent ratio between short demo and long term insight :)








  • well vim has always started with minimal core

    but when subtext popped, there were some stuff, I forgot what, but a few ergonomics ideas (like projectile, multiple-cursors, maybe nicer fuzzy search) that weren’t present in emacs. took a few months for someone to make it happen … and that was it.

    emacs can absorb most ideas, unless it’s something that would break the whole architecture
