Evil seems to get some things wrong or weird. If I use the mouse, then using . to repeat last edit doesn't work. I've also had issues using macros sometime.

It also seems to have severe performance issues. Maybe it's Emacs, or rust-mode. But, say, running a macro 1000 times on a 10K line file is far slower than using vim.

But overall it's pretty great. I have the feeling it's easier to configure, once I get familiar with Emacs/elisp.

For what it's worth, I've had trouble with macros as well. Sometimes they run at a glacial pace. Very strange.
