MODERATORS
I'm honestly torn between Nvim and Emacs right now. I'm a long time vim user and been on Nvim for 10+ years. The rate at which they change config methods kinda drives me nuts. The change from vimscript to lua, and then a new mixup of lua to another syntax of lua, NEED TO CHANGE THE LUA!!!!!! It's too much. I really did a yearly config rewrite for a while because the plugin ecosystem moves lightning fast. Now most of the time I feel like I'm using a half baked config solution even on a new from scratch setup.
Emacs feels like a breath of fresh air. I'm still working out the kinks but it feels like it just works when I tell it to do something. I'm not using evil mode. I dove head first into vanilla and it's been really nice. ELisp is wild. I have no fucking clue what I'm doing with it, but it all seems to be working. The fact that it took me 3 days to get my Emacs setup to where I am with Nvim and beyond was a great start to the switch. I'm really enjoying Emacs and there's definitely a past version of me going 'What the fuck' right now.
