https://susam.in/blog/lisp-in-vim-with-slimv-or-vlime/ is a good overview of the differences between slimv and vlime (the two vim plugins) and how to use them.
Speaking of noise, here's some out of context JS code from the first random file I opened in a really old project:
}
});
}
).on('error', function(e) { console.log('Error: ' + e); response.json({error: 'data_fetch_error'}, {}, 400); }).end();
}).then(function(next, urlstr) {
Yup, all of those () and {}s and commas and semicolons and single quotes were inputted manually. I say to my editors, "just let me type".For Lisp, "sensible editor support" to me means something like slime support that enables REPL development. Lacking that in editors besides emacs (or not knowing about the support for alternate editors) has probably hurt adoption, sure, but I don't think the presence or absence of other editing tools that most every editor has (like keyword highlighting and other colors, auto-indentation, auto-completion, auto-bracket insert, intelli-sense stuff...) is a factor.
