For me a major hill to overcome for learning any Lisp is Emacs. I've used Vim all my life, but I haven't found any way to make it "S-expression aware" the way emacs is. In emacs, I can navigate and manipulate the code based on S-expressions. I can move, cut, and select up, down, left, and right. In DrRacket I also know how to do things like rotate s-expressions and move an s-expression outside.
Since I've always felt that Vim is inferior for Lisp development, I try to use Emacs. Unfortunately, I feel a million times slower in Emacs than Vim simply because I've used vim for years.
I feel like, if I wanted to feel comfortable coding in any Lisp, I would have to code non-stop in an Emacs-like environment for a year, and I haven't had the discipline to do that yet. Does anyone know how to make Vim comparable to Emacs in this regard?
