> Emacsophobia may be irrational

I used emacs for about 10 years. Then I switched to vim, and I have no intention of switching back. It's not a phobia, it's a rational realization that modal editing fits well with how I do editing.

Sure, I meant in the sense that its seen as really obscure and hard to learn. A lot of people see vim in the same way.

I use vim for everything except lisp. In emacs I use evil-mode which is a really solid vim emulation layer.
