As someone who uses both vim, emacs, and vim mode within Emacs I gotta say: Emacs is better vim than the vim itself....

[Hi-Angel]

Too bad harf-buzz text shaping I think haven't made into this release.

[Hi-Angel]

I wasn't implying otherwise. Sure, for small edits anything goes (although "small" is a vague amount. If you edit more than a single line in...

[Hi-Angel]

Yea? Why should I drop Emacs in preference of a far less featureful IDE? I can imagine, like, dozens of Emacs/Vim specific things that you commonly won't...

[Hi-Angel]

[Hi-Angel]
