@mandlebro Yea I cant say im surprised.I personally would love to get in the head of someone who actually prefers Vim (or even vanilla Emacs). I really cant see why one would though im a noob to these techs as I always used them in vanilla mode to edit single files, and rarely source code.

@freemo spacemacs does come with a lot of bloat and sometimes the layers and modes seem to conflict in weird ways. The people I know who use vim like to do everything from the terminal. One does most of his programming remote through ssh.

@mandlebro I hear bloat used a lot.. I am highly bias as I call it "feature rich" which is good not bad. Only time bloat is bloat is when it is slow or other negative side effects.

Conflicts as you say would be legitimate, but it seems rare and easily avoided. Most modes have multiple key combos, and you can pick different leadin keys if needed. Good tools to identify when one layer masks another and how.

I've got an insane number of layers going (I cranked it up to 11) and havent had a single conflict of issue yet. But could be because I'm a noob i just dont see the issues yet either.
