I'm trying out Obsidian for taking notes, and this made me laugh.

Yea, vim really isn't anything near how useful emacs is.

Emacs really is powerful, all it needs now is a decent text editor.

It has one. It's called evil-mode.

emacs is solely for watching the text version of Star Wars and you know it

Not at all what I meant. It's just, out of the box, a powerful text editor that can be configured and built on if desired. If you want it to be more than a text editor, you can easily make it so.

Eh. Both are good choices. I prefer vim for my workflows - I like the terminal.

ETA: Will have to give Emacs another go though at some point.
