Switching from Emacs. My experience

lazygit

The only thing I truly miss from Emacs is [Magit](https://magit.vc/) since I still consider it the best git wrapper available. It is just too good. Unfortunately [Neogit](https://github.com/TimUntersberger/neogit) is not quite there yet although I hope it makes it at some point. I didn't like [Fugitive]https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive), but I ended up finding a good enough workaround by using [Lazygit](https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit) through [Toggleterm](https://github.com/akinsho/toggleterm.nvim).

Scoop

Thanks to [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/), installing Neovim, and all the necessary tools such as ripgrep, fd, bat, and even Alacritty is pretty easy in Windows, and although it doesn't feel nearly as fast as in a Linux machine, it is still very performant, especially when comparing it to Emacs and VSCode.

Evil

Despite using Emacs as my main editor, I was extremely familiar with Vim since I also used it frequently, and was able to use it quite well, especially because I also used [evil](https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil) in Emacs since Emacs's native keybindings are uncomfortable to use. I never used Vim as my primary editor though because it was cumbersome to configure. As many people say, Vimscript just feels wrong, so I gave up on trying to customize Vim.
