Comments by "Lawrence D’Oliveiro" (@lawrencedoliveiro9104) on "What Are The Benefits Of Emacs Over Vim?" video.

  1. Emacs has superior automation facilities, since it is built around a dialect of LISP. The various vi/vim derivatives seem to have something lacking in this respect, which is why some of them are trying to adopt Lua. Not sure that’ll help.

  2. Emacs is also nice because you can leave it running all the time. Then from a terminal window, use the “emacsclient” command to tell it to open files. I have this alias defined: alias e='emacsclient -n' specifically so that I can type e «filename» in any terminal window to edit files.
