Ask HN: Does anyone Lisp without Emacs?
2 by potta_coffee | 5 comments on Hacker News.
EMACS and SLIME are the default development tools for Lisp. I have a desire to go deeper with Lisp but every time I approach it, my distaste for EMACS prevents me. My problem with EMACS is not so much that it's different, but the keyboard commands hurt my hands and I can't see using it long-term. I do Jiu Jitsu and practice guitar every day and I already find that I have to be somewhat protective of my hands and limit certain activities or I end up in lots of pain. I'm looking for viable alternatives to EMACS for Lisp, preferably something free because I'm just doing this as a hobby.
