@thomasorus When I was a student, we were forced to use Emacs on NetBSD to learn C. I didn't like, so as soon as we were allowed, I switched to Visual Studio, then Xcode in my first job, then Textmate, then Vim. I was using Vim for a few years (tried Atom and such here and there), and most recently switched to Emacs (with Doom + Evil Mode). And since I'm also learning C now, I feel like I'm back right where I started! Except on Linux, not NetBSD... #thecycleoflife
