Well yeah, emacs users are elite :)

If you really prefer the vi syntax, there is even an "evil mode" for emacs - https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil



Nope, You're are not a real emacs user unless you use real emacs with real emacs key bindings.

(uEmacs is okay too).


Why to gatekeep being a emacs user tho?


Man, sometimes being an evil-mode user feels like being the red-headed stepchild...

That's okay though, I quite like that I can use Emacs like a souped-up vim, especially when Emacs sometimes does vim-like better than even vim could in so many workflows.
