spacemacs

I've got ligatures in my Haskell with the default spacemacs set up, this font looks really nice.

Well you need to forgo Vim for awhile and concentrating on Spacemacs way.

Emacs has that kind of visual tabs but Spacemacs does not integrate it since it gets in the way more than being useful.

Another win spacemacs is it does not hide default emacs functionality.

Then I installed Spacemacs which has been hot recently, I spent another 2 hours playing around, learning how to configure it.

It opens a buffer, not a tab (which I'm not sure are supported in Spacemacs at all, which would be a critical hit).

Once I got to know spacemacs shortcut layout, it was surprisingly intutive.

So, that said, have you tried out spacemacs?

Btw, Spacemacs can do the same with the feature I listed above.

I switched to using Spacemacs from vim a couple months ago.

I use crouton from my pixel2 so I can run spacemacs.

I know this is going to sound silly, but I'd go so far as to say that Spacemacs is one of the best editors ever made.

That said, if you want to try, open.spacemacs file, search "dotspacemacs-configuration-layers" and add "perspectives" (without double quotes) below any layer there.

If you want something like that, try pressing "SPC:" or "Alt-x" in Spacemacs.

Then, use "SPC L s" to switch between "tabs" (the default one is "@spacemacs".

You should at least say, "If you like vim for its modal editing features, but would also like support for session detachment along with a host of other stuff, you might find Spacemacs, or emacs with evil mode setup, a good alternative.

You can get a lot of these features in Emacs (or try Spacemacs), or Vim, or Sublime (with plugins).

Even vim with several plugins, including vimproc and Unite, I've found is a lot more portable than Spacemacs.

I also know in the future I will start with default Emacs, not Spacemacs, if I renew my learning.
