nowadays, it doesn't anymore.īoth are however a topic of religious discussions among the programmer and superuser community users, and in that respect, both are excellent for starting flame wars if put in contact (in the same sentence / question). whatnot in one package (emacs) made some sense. In the old days having a email client, ftp client, tetris. Emacs's approach of being an editor which wants to be an IDE (or should I say, an OS), but is not quite, is IMHO, outdated.
#MACVIM VS EMACS FULL#
Personally, I prefer vim - it is small, does what it's supposed to do, and when I wish a full blown IDE I open VS.
#MACVIM VS EMACS PORTABLE#
can be made portable (emacs has some problems with that).one central repository of scripts, plugins, color schemes.more active scripting community - internal language: vimscript.better as a simple editor (fewer keys required for simple tasks).It's easier to learn.Įven though I use Emacs all day every day (and love it) unless you intend to spend a lot of time in the program you choose I would pick vim It recognizes that most of the time you are reading/editing not typing and makes that portion faster. It's not quite so editable, but it's still far better than most text editors. You can work with the basic setup if you are on someone else's machine. You open up a file do a quick edit and then quit. With Vim, it's almost always pre-installed. You can make it into anything you want it to be. You won't be able to use other peoples emacs versions easily and it won't just be installed. You will be annoyed when you don't have access to it and constantly change your config. It takes weeks and weeks till you will be happy with it and then you will learn new stuff all the time. You write your own extensions, use it for note-taking, organization, games, programming, shell access, file access, listening to music, web browsing. With Emacs you are expected to have it open 24/7 and live inside the program, almost everything you do can be done from there. (the text below is my opinion, it should not be taken as fact or an insult)
