Of all Emacs features and possible ways to use, what were some of the hardest things to learn or get used to? in c/emacs@lemmy.ml

I tend to use undo-fu more often for sure. Typically the simpler word processor style of managing things is all I need, and for code there's version control.

Honestly I'd say if you're happy with undo-fu there's no real reason to go back. Unless you're curious and want to explore, which I'd never discourage either!

Do/undo/redo as a non-linear construct broke my brain more than a little. Even after all this time it's still somewhat cryptic. Packages like `vundo' have been indispensable for visualizing the decidedly non-linear, non-circular, zig-zag of previous do, undo, and redo.
