		UUMMUU on April 16, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: EmacsConf 2015 Planning Doc While I am a vim user, I love seeing people having conferences to promote editors that aren't IDEs. Don't get me wrong, Eclipse and Visual Studio are great tools but nothing beats being able to open vim (or emacs in your case) and going to town on some code. Good luck guys!

Thanks! And if you all put on a Vim conference, I would love to attend :) (Vim has like 5x the users of Emacs, right? that makes it easy :P)

Yes, because emacs is known for being a lightweight text editor without excessive bloat around it.
