Meow is really interesting for me as I never used Vim much. Meow seems to provide the benefits of modal editing with most seamless integration in Emacs. https://github.com/meow-edit/meow
Now I finally understand the comment in another Emacs thread. I thought people was talking about the Mew - a mail reader for Emacs.
It's been years since I used Mew. Wonder about any overlap in (current) Mew and Meow users.
