I had tried tried several times with Emacs, but, for some strange reason, very soon I would experience some wrist pain and finally gave up on it. Otoh, it does never occur when using Vim...yes, I also have Neovim installed and start using/learning it, but it is still light usage. My question was simply curiosity whether using non-Emacs editor is an obstacle 'forcing' me to choose some other language to tinker with. Of course, DrRacket is always a viable option, but I simply prefer not to 'change gears' (aka editors), if possible, when working. > Emacs is older than Neovim and I don't think anyone here on this mailing list > is using Neovim (except me) :-) > but people do use Emacs, so the Emacs-Racket ecosystem (and Lisp in general) > has had more time to mature.
