Or possibly when I wrapped my head around macro injection. Hard to say, this thing grew on me from being an absolute space alien of an architecture to the first tool in the toolbox I reach for if I&amp;#x27;ve got a new project to tackle.&lt;p&gt;My advice to people when editor wars come up is that going deep on something is more important than going deep on the right thing. emacs versus vi? No strong opinion. I happened to learn emacs first and would be repeating a lot of labor to go as deep on vi.&lt;p&gt;(... But I do tend to give a slight nudge in the direction of something of that ilk because relative to say, VS code... Those editors have already stood the test of time, they aren&amp;#x27;t beholden to one owner, and while past performance is not proof of future expectations, there&amp;#x27;s a lot of people heavily invested in keeping both of them alive and thriving).</text></comment>
