It’s always going to be slower and if you do want to reach the level of efficiency they claim to have, you have to waste more time learning keyboard commands, shortcuts and editing your configuration files for many hundreds of hours. I would say these people spend more time configuring their Emacs or Neovim than they actually spend programming. It’s not worth it, I don’t recommend keyboard centric editors. I would suggest the modern GUI IDE’s.
Sigh I believe that the old editor war should be left out of this list. I am not going to comment the text above.
