Well, in every blogpost about a editor or IDE there's gotta be someone who starts a flamewar. It's my turn I guess. I am a diehard Vimmer. I use Vi bindings system-wide. I've been using Vim for many years. Yet one day I woke up and I realized - Emacs is better Vim than Vim. Vimmers, if you think I'm trolling, try Spacemacs for yourselves. I guarantee - you'd be amazed.

I'm sorry, but that's not objective. Some people may prefer emacs, others may prefer vim, others may prefer notepad++ or intellij. And by saying things like this or responding them, you're just feeding the fire. Just let people use what they want.
I'm not trying to persuade people to stay in Spacemacs. I'm asking to try it. It has some nice ideas that I would've definitely tried to re-implement in Vim myself, if I would've chosen not to stay.
