That was actually supposed to come across as funny and I hope I wasn't being too rude to anyone. But this legendary Emacs vs Vim topic like: "My editor is better than yours" "Emacs can't be good because it's not Vim" (or vice versa) you know all the old phrases that divide us as a group of human beings instead of connecting by saying "hey, it's good that there are different tools and what we've already created together with them!" But for my part, I'm happy to admit: I digitally grew up with Vim and when I try to work with Emacs I feel like a dyslexic who has a spelling test in front of him... maybe some Emacsers feel the same way with Vim? The main thing is that I have to leave my console as little as possible and I'm happy about every new suggestion and new software running on the command line." "May the command line be with you!"

@toot Like them both but I never compare them. Vim is a replacement for your text editor. Emacs is a replacement for your terminal.

@Rastal Yes, many people see it that way with emacs as a replacement for the terminal, for example https://blog.einval.eu/ which is the blog of Vifon, one of the developers and maintainers of the ranger file manager. For my part, I use a combination of several tools with configs that work together and vim is the good old “team player” for me.

EINVAL: Valid solutions for invalid problems

@Rastal and because Vim runs inside a terminal primarily, does that make Emacs a Vim replacement?
