    I like vim, too. However, isn’t it a text editor?

    I classify emacs as a full-blown IDE.

      Depends on your definition of an IDE, but nowadays vim can be extended to have basically any feature you’d like. Especially neovim.

        That’s fair. I mostly use plain vim, and should branch out more. I hadn’t considered the extensions it provides.

        and since we’re here… vim > emacs 😉
