The more I look it up, the more confused I feel. What's the difference between configured emacs and configured neovim? (Full of plugins and configurations)
Convenience in configuring?
Convenience with updates?
Handier documentation?
Why have I not found an answer yet?
Does emacs feel more cohesive and neovim more playful?
Debates seem to gloss over how you can make emacs and neovim setups look, at least, very similar. The thing where you press space and it tells you what commands you have, you can get that in either vim or emacs. And displaying images even, I've seen that. Why is there emacs if I'm allowed to ask

I was using doom emacs from time to time and I especially liked git integration in magit. But recently I wanted to install some tailwind autocompletion and somehow my whole emacs installation just crashed. And for me that was enough I want to code my projects and not spend time for fixing my text editor. So I went back to visual studio code and installed which-key extension and tailwind - It took me maybe 15 minutes to setup everything like I wanted. And yes I have nice keyboard shortcuts similar to doom emacs (not perfect but good enough)

Thank you for your Emacs content.
I've been using NeoVim for all my text editing on Linux since I made the switch a few years ago.
I had learned a lot about the Vim way of life from guys like you , Luke Smith and Mental Outlaw. At the beginning of this week I decided to follow some of your guides and start playing around in Doom Emacs and I haven't looked back!
Great Tutorials, I appreciate it!

Selectric definitely sounds like a selectric typewriter. Back in the day, it was a primeval self contained word processor. That is it was a giant motorized typewriter with memory for holding, editing, and automatically typing the document, using impact type, character by character, rapidly.
It was easy on the fingers of a touch typist, and could keep up with them.
It was quite loud.

Boy you sound like my first Instructor in the University of Dortmund over 30 years ago. Emacs is the tool to end all other tools. We got it back then and we get it now: You're oldschool, boomer go back in your cave to the other trolls studying and fighting over your keybinding schematics in the torchlight of your old wisdom. Who wants to remember dozens of those?

I recently discovered -text properties- and -overlays-, which let you customize the display of selected regions of text in a buffer. For example, you can define custom buttons which perform actions when clicked -- basically, Emacs becomes a simple GUI toolkit.

Hey DT, if you install emacs-git from the AUR you can modify the PKGBUILD to have some interesting options to be turned on
for eg you can turn on PGTK, JIT, AOT and the gold linker to get a much more responsive and faster Emacs

Ewww you got crap in your emacs. Smells like Vi. Hahaha just kidding. I dont get why people dont like the vanilla emacs. It's so natural. For most of the keybindings I didnt even have to read the manual.

I've seen people do really insane things with Emacs. I mean is this just another tool to use alongside vim or a replacement+much much much more? Seems like it can do everything vim can do with one finger.

These look cool and i run emacs but I'm just not willing to pull random lisp code from GitHub. I run vscode and for some reason I don't have the same concerns with their plugins....
