This is a great point. Personally, the only reason I would want to switch to Emacs is Org mode but the muscle memory for custom Vim and Tmux keymaps is hard to give up.



emacs is very customizable.

I had the same fear before switching to emacs(in evil mode), so I changed some of the default shortcuts that I was accustomed in vim(e.g. nerdtree/treemacs). It's not that hard.

The whole enormous productivity boost that you get from Org mode(and org babel/literate programming) is well worth the temporary minor inconveniences of learning the tool.


FWIW, I use emacs(with evil) inside tmux, so you can keep your flow if you are willing to invest in the transition.


magit is the best git porcelain (interface) that I’ve ever seen. I’m a longtime emacs user, but even if I wasn’t, I’d provably use magit as my git interface
