guy's give me a good reason to switch to emacs (alien.top)

i love neovim but i've heard many people say that emacs is wayy better than neovim

in fact bill joy after creating vim said that he made a big mistake by creating vi

i have never seen that crazy fast dude who codes on emacs and just flies basically

i've always seen extremely fast people code on neovim and loved that i was part of that community

for me speed is topmost priority

i thought emacs loaded slow but now i see that emacs server makes emacs gui load faster ( wayy faster than conventional command)

is there a video you guys can link me of a user using emacs who is extremely fast and not just because of his typing speed but because he's using emacs

i would have to learn almost everything from scratch for using emacs

so please refer me post a convincing arguement there is nobody in my college who uses vim or emacs so i don't have anyone to look up to as of now so i don't know which choice is good for me

i want a video or a proof that emacs is wayy faster and efficient to code on than conventional vim

also should i use emacs in evil mode to be faster cause i believe nothing will beat vim motions

do whatever you want, why would anyone else care? I would encourage you to require less validation from randoms to do things, though, that will definitely hold you back in life.
