I’ve been using konsole (and iterm2 on my work mac) for most of my working career, but on the linux side, I’ve recently switched to Kitty, but now I’m wondering if I can finally get used to just using emacs on both.

Does anyone use emacs as their main terminal? Is there one better than ansi-term that supports modern features like libsixel?

I still can’t quite get used to the keybindings (like C-c twice for ^C) and some other weirdness.

    Vterm not working well with evil was actually my motivation to drop evil completely and embrace emacs key bindings.

    It was the best decision I made. I don’t perceive a any measurable impact on my ability to efficiently write code or edit text, but I’ve seen a significant improvement on my ability to use emacs in general

      I went the other way, I’ve used emacs key bindings for over a decade and switched to evil because it appears most things in doom emacs worked better.

      Magit is still a bit of a mess with evil, though, but is manageable.

      Maybe one day I’ll switch back again, but my fingers know both.
