    Come to the vi side, no straights or drags. (And just as terrible to use for every starter as emacs is ;) )

    Sorry, had to have the 1st vi post. ;D

      I started learning Emacs at the same time I was learning to code. Once I found Doom it was pretty straightforward. Before that…it wasn’t fun.

      I’m currently trying out lazyvim, and I think the Emacs approach is a lot more accessible to beginners because:

      • it does everything on its own instead of relying on you knowing cli tools

      • :help is just sad when compared to C-h, and generally the in-editor docs and guides are a lot worse

      • Doom is a lot more opinionated than lazyvim, but it also requires a lot less manual setup

      it’s doom emacs(with vim bindings). I am currently using vim but wanted to learn emacs too as org mode seems interesting
