vi or emacs? (lemmy.world)

I think the possible valid answers are: "vi", "emacs", "both", "seriously it's 2024", and " huh?"

for me its clearly vim, the modal editing and the hotkeys are what makes vim great.

the power of emacs lies in customisation. and building your own setup.

i can use vim hotkeys in almost every ide/editor i need.

to use emacs, i need to set up emacs to do everything you need to do.

you can work like that,
but its not for me.
