it's funny how people praise Sublime Text when plain old Emacs can do most of the things that Sublime Text can: > 5. vim compatability! evil-mode - a very advanced vi layer for emacs, probably much better than vintage, I hear only good things about it although I use the standard emacs mode > 4. Powerful Keybindings in JSON and Plugins in Python powerful keybindings (global-set-key (kbd "<f2>") 'split-window-vertically) (global-set-key (kbd "<f3>") 'split-window-horizontally) (global-set-key (kbd "<f4>") 'delete-window) (global-set-key (kbd "<f5>") 'delete-other-windows) and modes (plugins) in Elisp > 3. Package Manager and the More Centralized Community since Emacs 24 a package manager is included and there are awesome repos for all of your needs: (setq package-archives '(( "elpa" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
Read the rest
("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/") ( "melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/"))) after that run M-x list-packages and choose from around 1000 packages > 2. Project Sessions there are many modes that support that if you want it. I personally don't like it though. "projectile" is pretty nice though: https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile > 1.
