I completed the evil-tutor thing in spacemacs yesterday, and think
I'll get used to
it. The main problem I had when getting started with emacs, is that the bindings
appear to be random? With spacemacs finding the relevant commands was easy,
(space b for buffer and n for next). I think that's easy to
remember... and it comes
with a lot of packages pre-installed and with sane defaults. I think that
the vim key bindings are more known, since everyone has had to modify
a config file
over ssh and use :wq and insert mode, and that's pretty much all you need to get
started.
