q to stop recording it records all your keystrokes and binds them to a key so you can play them back whenever

emacs is better than vim at syntax highlighting. like python for example, it's perfect on emacs by default. on vim it's kind of bad and no one cares to fix it and you have to go out of your way to grab a better syntax highlighting script for one of the most popular languages nowadays on the other hand everyone who uses emacs seems to have insanely huge config files just to make emacs do some sensible things for them like jumping around side by side windows with 2 buttons instead of playing 5 chords. and those things always break every now and then with newer releases of emacs, I met a few folks who stopped using emacs because of this vim you can use it with a 6 lines config file and it's p much perfect to go I'd love to try emacs on evil mode or whatever but ![]()

To be honest I wouldn't use emacs without evil. It's just so much easier and faster. Add stuff like key-chords, ace-jump and helm, and it's even better.

vi is a good editor. emacs is not an editor, its more of a conglomeration. like if you're too stupid to use a lang with an ide, then emacs might be just dumb enough for you

jetbrains makes a python ide. why would you use the computer version of stamping cuneiform glyphs into a wet clay tablet when you could use a modern tool, idgi.
