Buying into the Emacs Platform (2018)

In my limited experience, God mode also integrates better with the rest of Emacs than Evil mode. That’s why I switched from Evil mode to God mode: I have found the threshold to entry to other parts of Emacs lower when you stay reasonably true to vanilla Emacs. If you want nothing but a good text editor, get Emacs and run Evil mode in it.
