Who's Using with

I took it out and when I went to put it back in, I notice there are 65+ packages that start with Evil* I have put evil back in place. But do I want these others?

vi in emacs. Aptly named. But I suppose if your fingers have learned that abomination, you might like it. Mine won't. Ever.

@billstclair

Wha? Abomination? Preposterous! It's just different, have you heard of exploring different things? Much fun!
Unless your fingers lost their dexterity, in which case sorry for teasing... though they probably wouldn't have, if you have used vim...

@namark @billstclair I came into editing with CUA/CAA style editors. I could do all things in Visual Slick Edit which I paid for and used for 20 years. But I have embraced FOSS and with such came Vim which is my serious goto. But I have had a back and forth love affair with Emacs. However, writing lisp just begs for Emacs. Even if I have it working "modally" or "stately" as it were. Funny, even having Evil in place I still like c-c c-f and c-x c-s for opening and saving a file. But ZZ still does the save and exit.
