I'm very interested in reports of 10+ year users of Emacs, how do Helix/Vim compare? I understand reports from zero-to-Helix/Vim users that they're good, but I don't believe they truly understand how great Emacs is unless they really use it for a long time.

But because Vim-like keys and modes seem to be so much better integrated in all other editors these days (no good Emacs mode in VSCode for example), seems like it won, and it'll soon be time to accept that.

But every time I tried – I never had enough patience to use it until my fingers have the memory, and didn't see the point enough to keep smashing the editor.

So, very interested in reports of actual hardcore Emacs users about the switch.
