Hi! I am quite strange because I use both VIM and GNU Emacs. Emacs for programming and VIM for general use (such as typing this email, editing config files). I think Emacs is better overall, but it's just too bloated and slow for normal use. And it's really embarrasing when I install it on Debian and it drags in 250MB of deps. VIM is really hard to use which makes it prestigious. Emacs is not much harder to use than nano. I personally find syntax highlighting usefull when programming. -Joseph
