For the record Bodil is a long time emacs user and advocate ([GitHub - bodil/ohai-emacs: The finest hand crafted artisanal emacs.d for your editing pleasure](https://github.com/bodil/ohai-emacs)) 😄

Spacemacs _is_ really nice. I even contributed a some configuration layers for it, but it felt a little sluggish to me, compared to Vim. Also, evil doesn’t have ports of many plugins I use…

Also, neovim is coming along nicely…
