sigh emacs-er here, yes you can do anything you want in emacs, but the defaults can be confusing for newbies and CUA CUI users (vscode, jetbrains, etc). That said, like vim users, I feel handicapped when using something like vscode. Once you move towards vim or better yet meow/kakoune editing modes, you will never want to use anything else, because everything else is soooo slow when navigating, inspecting, and editing code/text. With tree-sitter and lsp support now built-in, there really isn’t anything vscode offers over emacs anymore 😅
VS Code + vim plugin is sooo slooow. I’m happy it works for you but I can’t wait to finish on boarding my onboarding buddy so I can go back to vim where I belong
I do too… but it’s not perfect. If you use the extension that uses neovim in the background is seems is the best option but still I miss my “never needing a mouse” feeling I had on emacs.
I mean maybe is just lack of knowing keybindings… but back on the day when I used spacemacs it was all so intuitive.
sorry, meant CUA (Common User Access). Its type of editor that uses the ctrl+c / ctrl+v / ctrl+x for things like copy / paste / cut, etc. Most popular editors use this type of editing mode. Its also known as a non-modal editor.

I genuinely think it’s funny that in a post that isn’t making fun of Emacs you felt the need to defend Emacs.
It’s making fun of Emacs users for always finding ways to talk about Emacs. (Which I don’t think is a real problem anymore)
I couldn’t help myself xD, i think its just part of being an emacs-er :D
I use vscode with vim plugin. I find this to be a pretty great combo, for me at least

What does CUI mean?
