I learned vim when I picked up linux, now I work at a company with a customized emacs tool we have to use. Doh it never ends...

If you develop RSI from emacs, you could have the employer make reasonable accommodations, i.e. let you use Vim :)

Emacs pinky can be a bitch

Or use Evil mode :) I don’t think I can ever give up Org-mode. Vim-wiki, etc just can’t seem to sate that itch.

I am a big Emacs user, and I just move my hand to hit certain keys.

I don't get why there is so much talk about RSI. Speed is nice, but it is not the end-all be-all as far as I am concerned.

What does the customized emacs tool do? It sounds interesting.

We have our own software SDLC with custom tools. Its kinda nice coordinating across a large organization, sucks to be using these custom tools.
