Michael F. LambIf I'm installing spacemacs in an effort to learn emacs and permanently switch away from vim, should I select "vim" or "emacs" as my "preferred editing style" in the wizard installer?
Kadin@datagrok Bit like asking "Catholic or Protestant?" but IMO if your goal is to "learn Emacs" and switch away from vim, you should select the Emacs style (presumably, Emacs keybindings). That way normal Emacs docs and tutorials will apply and you can just learn it out of the gate.
Audy@datagrok switching for any specific reason? I've thought about switching just so I can wear out a different part of my wrists
@audy LOL 😂
but seriously i have had emacs envy for a long time, mostly because i want to extend my text editor but
if i don't feel like the language or tool i need to use is demonstrably better than those i already know it's a herculean task to summon the motivation to learn it
so i'm loathe to learn vimscript
and yes some vim versions have python integration but it's meh
what i really want is guile-emacs but elisp is okay until then
@audy also it seems like emacs is more capable than vim when it comes to integrating with interpreters and compilers to navigate source code
SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE@datagrok seems like every tutorial/cheat sheet assumes you'd chosen vim bindings
