As someone who came from vim, I find evil to be great tbh.


Why go to emacs then? What do you get that vim couldn't provide?


Emacs probably enables more functionality than vscode or any other tool. You can literally browse the web or send emails from emacs - I’m not saying you should, but the potential for performing tasks are infinite.

Vim has by far the better default user interface, though.
