DEFINITIVE LIST OF REASONS TO USE EMACS  

I use emacs everyday, and I could not agree more.

Vim is what got me into Linux and using the command line effectively. Everyone should start there after learning the bare basics of programming IMO. It will set you up for life with a career and deep understanding of computers, especially the Unix philosophy. But Emacs is the endgame. I have effectively crafted my own hybrid of a vim/tmux and VScode workflow in Emacs with tiling window manager-like features, and have never been more comfortable or fast. I understand that Neovim is just about as flexible these days, but the culture of Emacs is that you can easily and quickly learn about and modify literally anything. The development velocity is just incredible once you figure things out.

Expected video to be 0 seconds long. Never regretted

You love to see the intro to algorithms book 😅

Sold, best summary of why I switched to emacs 😅

They are already working on diss-back.

So very true, TJ, you don't need any reason to use Emacs, it's just so much fun!

Peek content as always !!!. Love to see this in next neovim conf.

Didn't get the message. The main reason to use emacs is that everything is integrated into each other, which leads to a greater productivity. Neovim was my first text editor and a tool that i've tried to push to the max. But eventually it wasn't enough. Switched to emacs a week ago. Never been so euphoric.

There is actually a good reason. It makes you love neovim even more.

Nice one! I got worried TBH when I saw the title 😆

1. You can brag that you use Emacs to your co-workers or random strangers to the internet and that by default makes you a 10x developer

Genuine reasons: - Emacs has a proper GUI, meaning proper fonts, images, emojis, good mouse support, nice visual stuff (rounded corners for menus and GUI stuff like that). - It also definitively has the best support for org mode (the superior version of markdown). - really good search ability, vertico gives a really nice 'search' ability for anything, files, buffers, you don't even have to learn it, it just works like how you'd expect. - magit's git integration, we have magit which is a tool for git integration and it's quite nice. - even though Emacs keybindings suck you can just use vim ones with evil-mode - also tabs in vim look ugly af but not in Emacs cuz it's a GUI, aswell as that sidebar tree for seeing the directory. - other features are equal to vim.

Unpopular opinion: Emacs can be the best vim than vim ever was. Evil mode integrates with vim keybindings better than anything in the market

is the book out yet, gotta get it

Give me something as good and polished as Magit, Org-mode, use-package and projectile. Then we will talk.

lmao man your skits are top tier. no one really does this for tech stuff that ive seen.

Am sure we only got the short version the rest is a fee to watch the full length version

You missed org mode.

I know one even though I don't use Emacs: Key bindings are apparently the same in Bash

I use Vim for similar reasons

Has anyone noticed how neovim has become Emacs?

That's intro to algorithms book

2024/06/05 after seeing bashbunnie video, this hits diferent jajajaja

Did you mean vim?

I need a reason to try Emacs. I have used Vi from way back when I started using Linux OS, Vim and now Neovim. Neovim is so amazing now with all the cool plugins. I like how the community has grown.

What about Vim :3

Great

All reasons were valid !

Cormen, good choice!

Exaaactly

This is more of a TEDX

homie trying to start a war lmao. o7

The thought of getting Emacs pinkie made me get PTSD whenever I even think about trying it

Emacs doesn’t need to change modes.

Brutal 🤣

Wait... so there is no reason for using emacs or i need no reason to use emacs... I use vim.

Started a war 😁 😂 🤣

I opened emacs once, therefore I know emacs.

Is it CLRS? Lmao

love the book, looks like cormen 3rd ed xD

You lack knowledge & information, but great!

Hey, that's EVIL 🙈

you know you all trying to get nvim to be emacs don't lie

there is like 1 reason to use emaxs

teej so sassy

😂

lol

😅

KKKKKKKKKKK

what's the point of this?

Lol

I would much rather write lisp than lua but yeah vim is just better

weak

lol... i need no reason to use emacs... i just love using it... nvim too

emacs must not use elisp. it needs to be reborn.

Ok seriously the main reasons to use Emacs over Vim is that Emacs can do 100% of what Vim does and it does it better while having better configuration.

I'll tell you one single reason to not use it: elisp. When I finish my port of haxe to Lua-neovim I may consider reunite both families by making haxe compile to elisp too
