    Looks awesome!

    Every time I see these amazing Emacs screenshots I get really intrigued by it. But I have committed to vim already, and can’t be bothered to learn a second highly complex text editor

      I have recently switched from Vim (Neovim) to Doom Emacs and similarly to switching from my previous editor to Vim, I cannot now imagine going back. Furthermore, I fail to comprehend how I was able to function before having Doom Emacs in my life. If you want to experiment with Emacs, I would suggest getting Doom Emacs, working with it like with classic Vim within half an hour or so and then slowly learning anything new as a bonus as you go. And I can say, it is an amazing piece of SW.

          That is interesting, indeed. May I ask why did you take this route? Why to switch to Neovim when already using Emacs with integrated Vim? Plugins etc.?

            I am shit at lisp and never bothered to learn it despite using emacs for four years. With Doom Emacs, I was finding it difficult to deviate from the default config for this reason. I wasn’t using emacs to the fullest and wasn’t too married to it. I stay in the terminal all the time so I started using neovim instead once it hit 0.5.0.

              Fair enough. I can understand that. It is true that configuring Emacs is a bit harder and one has to really learn quite a few of the language basic to do practically anything. Glad this works better for you. Have fun.

      The learning curve was not as bad as I thought. 2-3 hours of messing around and I basically learned all of the keybindings and features.
