Comment on My Text Editor Journey: Vim, Spacemacs, Atom and Sublime Text

Comments

Former vi / Emacs user here.

You could try Acme. It feels great (zen-like, actually) not having to remember a dozen keybindings, not maintaining configurations and simply clicking around and using whatever is on your $PATH.

Also, no syntax highligthing, from time to time it is refreshing to move from quite a customised Spacemacs (I moved from raw emacs to Spacemacs to clean up my .emacs file) to something cleaner and leaner. Acme with plan9ports and piping is pretty nice to use and allows for some fancy customizations that feel very natural, mouse-wise.
