I used to be a hardcore vim user. I recently discovered emacs (tonight, in fact), and I'm blown away.
Once I migrate, I'm probably not going back. If you guys want to know why, I'll be glad to write up a quick post on it.
P.S. If you're a vim user, you can keep the awesome keybinds, I heavily suggest you give it a shot.
@jmw150 Already did, as I installed doom emacs.
I'm so stoked to do some literate programming and improve my zettelkasten with org-roam and such. I just need a way to integrate zotero so I can access my bibtex keys.
@johnabs I am almost going the other way around from VSCode to vim. Already migrated my wiki and markdown files plus started up learning R via its console and/or writing up scripts through vim (to be frank, I was/am too lazy to install Rstudios).
@barefootstache If you haven't tried it out yet, I heavily suggest trying out RMarkdown. You can use LaTeX/HTML templates with it, and use a vim compiler script (I used to invoke with leader+c) which will auto-compile my rmarkdown all the way to its final pdf/html forms. (Though now I use org-babel, which is also super nice)
@johnabs thanks for the tip
@johnabs Plan on adopting emacs-evil for the vim keys?
