Trying Emacs for the First Time as a Neovim User (with Joshua Blais)

I've been wanting to try Emacs for quite some time now, to see what it's all about and how it compares to Neovim. But doing something like this requires you to invest time to learn and understand how to set it up and how it works.

So in this video my good friend JoshuaBlais walks me through the process of installing and setting up Emacs on macOS, we also talk about the Emacs philosophy and the differences it has with Neovim
