Like Jill said: “It’s a good thing we have … emacs … heeheehee …”.

Cloning ChrisAtTheMachine’s build is a completely different animal to actually using it as awesome as it is.

I think the big difference is copying vscodium’s features in *vim means stepping well outside of official support and while you’re supposed to do that, you’re still having to develop features yourself and/or inherit all the quirks of a ton of personal projects which’ll usually (though not always) have a sole maintainer who may or may not be active, may or may not care 1/2 a whit about repo security, have zero if not near-zero documentation spread out all over the place and have a limited pool of people who can help you if you get stuck with that particular part of your build.

I now use micro (no plugins) and a ton of bash though that’s after ~2 years of beating my way into near-exclusive use of vim (which was near identical to neovim for my purposes) until I just got fed up of constantly having to futz with it and educating my way into obscurity. If someone takes to it and values freedom i’d say *vim all the way and I think everyone should learn basic vi but in my opinion it’s not the simple alternative it’s often billed as and it’s asking for a heap of work you wouldn’t otherwise have.

Doom Emacs to satisfy all actors involved?
