Emacs with Evil mode is the best editor ever. For pure text editing capability Vim can't be beat, but it lacks some niceties like ability to run shells, an integrated package installer etc.

With Emacs and Evil, you can get the best of both worlds.

And Spacemacs (https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs) is a good way to have a nice Evil integration. The only downside I found is when you have to install your first new packages, Spacemacs forces you to integrate it in a configuration-layer because it deletes all orphan packages. Now I think it's a good way to organise your packages, but it's definitively puzzling when you try to figure out why your newly-installed packages got deleted for the 5th time.

Thanks for the link. I already have a pretty decent setup, but I'm always looking to improve it. Trying it out now.
