I used to be a hardcore vim user. I recently discovered emacs (tonight, in fact), and I'm blown away.
Once I migrate, I'm probably not going back. If you guys want to know why, I'll be glad to write up a quick post on it.
P.S. If you're a vim user, you can keep the awesome keybinds, I heavily suggest you give it a shot.
@johnabs thanks for the tip
@barefootstache If you haven't tried it out yet, I heavily suggest trying out RMarkdown. You can use LaTeX/HTML templates with it, and use a vim compiler script (I used to invoke with leader+c) which will auto-compile my rmarkdown all the way to its final pdf/html forms. (Though now I use org-babel, which is also super nice)
