Tough pick between neovim and doom emacs.

Doom Emacs has pretty much entrenched itself in my workflows at this point. Not only do I use it for essentially all coding I'm doing, I have also migrated my IRC, file management and RSS reader over to it and I start it as a user-level systemd service on login, so that I can create quick buffers by just connecting to it using emacsclient.

In terms of just coding, I've found Doom Emacs to be often more powerful than my own Neovim config and Evil does such a good job of emulating Vim keys that I have yet to find a key combination that I used in Vim which isn't available to me now, and sometimes Evil even enhances keybindings to be better than what I'm used to. Last autumn I even found Doom Emacs to be powerful enough that I used it for a Java project without a significant loss in coding efficiency despite Java's tendency to be quite IDE-centric.

Quoting: Ben DI use Github Atom for HTML/Jscript and Eclipse for Java

Same here!

Started getting more into coding not long ago, and got a free subscription for an all products from JetBrains and loving it. I hate it isn't open source, though. In the near future, my aim is to do some apps for Gnome so have Builder installed to play with it.
