I've started trying to switch over from vim to emacs, due to the fact that emacs seems better designed in general, with more - better extensions. I'd been wondering if there was some standard way of doing line deletion than the one I'd come up with. Apparently not.

Well, time to go back to viper-mode, with my old friends 'yy', 'dd', and 'kyy'.

Vim is better designed than Emacs for editing. Emacs is just better designed for everything else. To this day, there is no better way of scrolling text than j/k. That doesn't change the reality of Emacs' incredible flexibility.

Yes, and Emacs can also emulate ... Vim.

=> VIPER mode.
