I used Vim my whole career. But I always hated all the little bugs.

Then I found Spacemacs a couple weeks ago and switched. I had an equivalent environment set up in a few days.

Now I'm moving forward with the ability to do almost anything I want, and all of Vim's warts gone.

Vim really is a shitty editor with an awesome UI on top.

Emacs is a completely configurable, actually good editor. Now with Vim's awesome UI.
