>If bash is Ed, it feels zsh is emacs and fish is (neo)vim.

I would have thought fish=emacs and zsh=vim in this analogy, since fish isn't really compatible with bash but zsh is?



I was more thinking of how many(?) people will readily use a only slightly customized vim - and be reasonable productive in a standard config, vs emacs where the stronger trend seems to be building an ide on top of emacs - to the point were to users can't readily use each other's setup efficiently - or indeed use the standard distribution without customization.


Ah, okay; that does make sense. FWIW:

    $ wc -l ./.profile ./.vim/vimrc
    249 ./.profile
    173 ./.vim/vimrc
    422 total
...but I probably just forgot that I'm an outlier:)
