I'm currently looking at meow since they state in their readme: "Meow aims to blend modal editing into Emacs with minimal interference with its original key-bindings, avoiding most of the hassle introduced by key-binding conflicts."
Looks like it might be a smoother transition from evil compared to directly moving to vanilla bindings. (2/2)
Interested to hear what package authors use too: @tarsius@fosstodon.org @minad@mastodon.world @oantolin@mathstodon.xyz @yantar92@fosstodon.org

@paniash@mstdn.social One of the reasons that emacs appealed to me was that it didn't have modal editing and arbitrary keybindings. I was a vim user for about 5 years and always had logical issues with vim bindings from mnemonic perspective. I used Doom Emacs for about a year and loved how easy it is to config, and after that I started my own Emacs config from scratch using Emacs-style keybindings. I tend to keep the default bindings but sometimes I change them around.
