I'm made the transition from Vim to Emacs. I now primarily use Emacs with Evil mode and still use Vim for quick edits with the Vim configuration as a subset of my Emacs configuration. It's the best of both worlds. The Emacs text editing platform is on another level regarding automation, integration and productivity. I have my own config, but I recommend trying the Doom Emacs configuration system if you want to get up and running quickly.
I have read the book and it is the best Emacs book I know of. Highly recommended.
Come on, I must have been raised in another Denmark from a parallel universe then?
Fedtemadder (lard on bread) is an essential part of the danish smørebrødsbord (open sandwich table). It is common to use lard instead of butter on speciel occasions, like Christmas for example. And it tastes great :-P
I run stable at work and on my private workstation and laptop. Minimum downtime, it just works. I install my bleeding edge, i.e Haskell, Python, Emacsen, Firefox etc in my home directory. Best of both worlds. A stable base system and the newest application and environments on top.
