| > seems weird to me that one would want to do any of these things inside vim... though it should be possible with the right plugins... but why? just use a window manager like screen or tmux to multi-task. Imagine you put tons of information in vimwiki from your browser. It's not a far stretch to wish you had a text browser inside of vim to more easily get important information into vim wiki. At some point the browser could even begin to feel like a hindrance to curating and improving upon your higher quality vimwiki notes. Emacs is like this, but not just for notes... for pretty much everything. > just use a window manager like screen or tmux to multi-task. I'm quite used to my auto-completion and snippets in emacs. As well as my clipboard history. The flexibility of isearch and how intuitive it's UX is. If I leave emacs I never have all of those familiar things that fit like a glove. I'm in a different world with different rules that is far less malleable, understandable, and introspectable as emacs. Hopefully that helps make sense of things a bit =) |
