@dekkzz76@emacs.ch @ringtailringo I actually mainly just edit code with emacs. I guess I’m weird.

@ambihelical @dekkzz76 I did it too, nothing wrong with it, but it was certainly much slower and more cumbersome to configure compared to neovim.

@ringtailringo @dekkzz76@emacs.ch fair points. I guess I enjoy the configuration because I like programming and the process of incrementally improving my work flow. I found vim was hard to improve beyond a certain point when I switched almost a decade ago. Speed isn’t the best (esp on windows which I unfortunately need to use) but not a problem and more than adequate on fast hardware and Linux.

@ambihelical @dekkzz76 Fair enough, we all know that configuring emacs can be a fulfilling full-time hobby. :) I just have less time in last years due to my offspring, so everything I have to configure in emacs just causes me stress. At the same time, doom emacs does not look that slick anymore, it quite a configuration these days and it feels performance-wise. So I downsized to fish + nvim and, to my surprise, liked it.
