The way the other guy said. Then it breaks enough times, you give up, and switch to Helix. Nothing snappier out there (vanilla Vim included) and it comes with all the goodies you'd install 100 packages for (DAP, LSP, treesitter, sane default configs for dozens of languages)

To each their own, but for a hardcore Emacs user (wrote a number od my own plugins) that actually tried and couldn't seriously adopt VSCode for more than a few months, Helix was such a nice surprise + change of pace. Worth giving it a shot if you're caught in that gap.




Is there something that approximates org-mode outlining? I don't need all the other stuff org-mode does, but just the simple outliner functionality combined with all the other Emacs stuff is my golden handcuffs.


Not that I'm aware of just yet, unfortunately, so might be a good reason to stick around. For me the switch coincided with jumping on the zettelkasten train and I haven't looked back since. I miss some org mode fratures but constantly `org-refile`-ing I can do without.
