Emacs和Vim之间有什么实际的、客观的区别?例如,使用一个可以做而另一个不行(或者使用一个比另一个更容易做)?为了选择一门课程,我应该知道些什么?

这就像苹果和橘子。两者都有不同的设计和理念。Vim是一个文本编辑器,而Emacs是一个Lisp解释器,可以进行文本编辑。

我使用Vim是因为它快速、狡猾,而且非常擅长处理文本。它具有可组合的自然键绑定,可以使您的开发任务真正协调一致。Vim基于一种简单的*nix哲学,即做好一件事——即文本操作。

使用bash/zsh和tmux扩展Vim通常很简单,可以学到很多东西。恕我直言,这是一个很好的学习曲线。关键是要学习如何集成这些东西以获得更大的工作应用程序。使用Vim,您需要学习集成,因为除非您告诉它如何进行集成,否则它不会自然地进行集成。另一个值得我使用的扩展是Tig。它是一个基于ncurses的Git前端。我只是有一个绑定,它无声地打开Tig,然后我在那里做所有Git的事情。

由最终用户来决定什么是最好的。Emacs和Vim经受住了时间的考验,证明了它们的价值。最终,一个优秀的程序员只需要一支笔和一张纸就可以发挥创造力。好的算法不需要编辑器的支持。所以两种方法都试试,看看哪种方法能让你更有效率。从这两个软件中学习设计模式,因为有很多东西需要学习和发现!

现在你甚至不需要考虑这两者之间的区别,因为Spacemacs。它是一个社区驱动的Emacs发行版。

正如它所说,

最好的编辑器既不是Emacs也不是vim,而是Emacs和vim。

Spacemacs结合了Emacs和Vim的优点,使您的生活和工作更加轻松。

VI总是可用的,并且将在最残缺的、单用户模式、坏的图形、没有键图、慢的链接机器上运行——因此,仅仅为了系统管理任务,了解如何在它中编辑简单的文件是值得的。

Emacs是一个编辑器中的完整用户界面。其思想是在启动机器时启动Emacs,并且永远不要离开它。可能会有数千个会话。

与使用GUI编辑器/IDE和使用python/awk/等来完成额外任务相比,学习Emacs的功能是否值得,取决于你自己。

Emacs的好处

Emacs has both non-modal interface (by default) and modal one (e.g. it can emulate vim and vi through Evil, Viper, or Vimpulse). One of the most ported computer programs. It runs in text mode and under graphical user interfaces on a wide variety of operating systems, including most Unix-like systems (Linux, the various BSDs, Solaris, AIX, IRIX, macOSetc.), MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows, AmigaOS, and OpenVMS. Unix systems, both free and proprietary, frequently provide Emacs bundled with the operating system. Emacs server architecture allows multiple clients to attach to the same Emacs instance and share the buffer list, kill ring, undo history and other state. Pervasive online help system with keybindings, functions and commands documented on the fly. Extensible and customizable Lisp programming language variant (Emacs Lisp), with features that include: A powerful and extensible file manager (dired), integrated debugger, and a large set of development and other tools. Having every command be an Emacs Lisp function enables commands to DWIM (Do What I Mean) by programmatically responding to past actions and document state. For example, a switch-or-split-window command could switch to another window if one exists, or create one if needed. This cuts down on the number of keystrokes and commands a user must remember. "An OS inside an OS". Emacs Lisp enables Emacs to be programmed far beyond editing features. Even a base install contains several dozen applications, including two web browsers, news readers, several mail agents, four IRC clients, a version of ELIZA, and a variety of games. All of these applications are available anywhere Emacs runs, with the same user interface and functionality. Starting with version 24, Emacs includes a package manager, making it easy to install additional applications including alternate web browsers, EMMS (Emacs Multimedia System), and more. Also available are numerous packages for programming, including some targeted at specific language/library combinations or coding styles.

vi类编辑器的好处

Edit commands are composable Vi has a modal interface (which Emacs can emulate) Historically, vi loads faster than Emacs. While deeply associated with UNIX tradition, it runs on all systems that can implement the standard C library, including UNIX, Linux, AmigaOS, DOS, Windows, Mac, BeOS, OpenVMS, IRIX, AIX, HP-UX, BSD and POSIX-compliant systems. Extensible and customizable through Vim script or APIs for interpreted languages such as Python, Ruby, Perl, and Lua Ubiquitous. Essentially all Unix and Unix-like systems come with vi (or a variant) built-in. Vi (and ex, but not vim) is specified in the POSIX standard. System rescue environments, embedded systems (notably those with busybox) and other constrained environments often include vi, but not emacs.

首先,Vi(原始实现)今天不使用。你说的是一些Vim推导。

要扩展Vim功能,必须重新编译Vim, Emacs则不必。

Emacs在self中有Vim (viper模式)。

Emacs通常需要手动安装,Vim通常预安装在所有Unix之类的操作系统上(但如果你有ssh访问主机的tramp模式win Vim:)。

如果你尝试Vim,那么你讨厌Emacs,所以先从Emacs开始。

击键执行::: Vi编辑将保留键入键的每个排列。这将在决策树中创建一个路径,该路径明确地标识任何命令,而Emacs命令是立即执行的键入键的组合,使用户可以选择是否使用命令。

内存使用和可定制性::: vi是一个更小更快的程序,自定义能力更有限,而Emacs启动时间更长,需要更多内存。然而,它是高度可定制的,并且包含大量的特性,因为它本质上是为文本编辑而设计的Lisp程序的执行环境。
