Though mad respect to anyone who uses either lol

ah, a heretic

I used both during my systems programming class in university and my main takeaway is that these are both programs for absolute lunatics

yeah I prefer emacs because it almost, in places, acts like a functional text editor

if I press 'a' in it, it writes an 'a' where the cursor is

The best argument I’ve seen for them is for Sysadmins, 1) Vim will always be available 2) You can do heavy customization and automation, which has more value in the context of ‘needing to be editing big configuration text files that are mostly boilerplate’.
