Hello, you foolish Emacs-Religion!

I introduced a new employee to the superior editors and provided him an objective opinion of choice between our two Editors. This Fool elected Emacs. Anyhow, I did transfer all my Vim-Config to Emacs and it was working great. But I switched back since there were Scenarios were I definetly knew from my gut I issued the correct evil-mode instructions but somehow Emacs did some fuck-up.

At this point let me tell you that I was so impressed with your capabilties, that I found you guys speaking to me was meant intentionally demoralizing!!1 I also append that due to code quality reasons I transfered to Vim. So my Progress was: Neovim > Emacs > Vim.

I just realized that - maybe - it is about two differing things: The cursor/caret CONSISTENCY and panes (can’t refer to a split in your native tongue, sorry).

Both Editors were configured to remember the last caret position. And I suspect both did this, since your Code is written by more proficient developers (my personal studies have shown). And panes are working within my - on-demand - unit teats correctly. But I just switched from a temporary help-pane to my code and realized: My layout wasn’t effected, my caret was obv. still at my last editing position and this while I switched from shell to the editor, skipping a pane and rephrasing my own thought while doing this.

My caret is always consistent. Maybe this is something not explicitly tested in your code base. And why I shared it.

Anyhow, your Editor sucks and we will take all of your invention, idiots.

      Could you explain what he’s saying about caret (presumably cursor?) positions because I can’t make sense of it.

      I am thankful for your reply.

      As a Dutch you (edit: may be) are the Best to analyze my mistakes. I would appreciate a correction if you can spare the time for such at any point. Either via a public comment or a private message - doesn’t matter since it would be offtopic and in my personal interest.

        Who the fuck downvotes an honest call for improvement?

        I’ll see if I can spare some time this evening for you.
