In another post I mentioned that I edited the Evil emacswiki page and I found there this:
> It would be nice with a brief overview over the objectives and > difference to ViperMode. I thought so, too. And found it difficult to promote evil myself to others (mostly vimpulse users), because the main reason for myself using evil is "vim-emulation done right". I think this is best done not only as a feature list but also as a compilation of opinions. The first things I came up with: Features: - vim keyboard macros - recursive ones, too - support for cursor functions (color and shape based on current mode) as opposed to viper: - vim-emulation - text objects (deletion, changing, ... of text "syntactically") - visual mode (esp. painless rectangular selection) - modal state key bindings - g* keys - ... (most of the other things that vimpulse added) as opposed to vimpulse: - vim-emulation that doesn't feel stuck on (I felt myself with vimpulse more times than not fighting with viper) - changing the state for modes really does work - ... - actively developed as opposed to vim-mode (I never used it) - ... So please chime in! Michael
