This relationship can be saved as long as the guy's wife does not start expressing an interest in Emacs. That would, of course, put an end to the relationship, but if she's one of those "Notepad is all I need" types, there is hope this can be worked through.

Maybe she already evolved past vim to kakoune. 😎

and evolved past kakoune to helix

I actually went, emacs -> vim -> helix -> kakoune.

I went helix -> vim -> emacs -> kakoune -> neovim, super interesting to see how people's experiences differ

You made me look up helix again after a few years and it's gotten pretty sick actually. I might main it for a while to see how it fairs. It's fairly similar to kakoune of course, but it'll take a while to get all the modes into my muscle memory. The similar actions are in different modes and there are many more modes in helix as far as I can tell. But it's cool, looking forward to experimenting.
