Come to the vi side, no straights or drags. (And just as terrible to use for every starter as emacs is ;) )

Sorry, had to have the 1st vi post. ;D
- And just as terrible to use for every starter as emacs is ;)
  
  I started learning Emacs at the same time I was learning to code. Once I found Doom it was pretty straightforward. Before that...it wasn't fun.
  
  I'm currently trying out lazyvim, and I think the Emacs approach is a lot more accessible to beginners because:
  
  it does everything on its own instead of relying on you knowing cli tools
  
  :help is just sad when compared to C-h, and generally the in-editor docs and guides are a lot worse
  
  Doom is a lot more opinionated than lazyvim, but it also requires a lot less manual setup
- it's doom emacs(with vim bindings). I am currently using vim but wanted to learn emacs too as org mode seems interesting
  
  Check magit as well, in case you use git. It was a game changer for me.
  
  heard about it. will install it. thanks!
- VI is the number of the beast! Install Emacs now and save your soul!
  
  Perhaps I'm a satanist
