An editor is an editor after all Isn't it?
Just re-starting on Lisp after a gap of 18 years.
Worked on AutoLISP, now moving to Common-Lisp.
Never used Emacs before, but see it being recommended by CL grey-beards.
Is Emacs mandatory for CL programming?
If yes, why?
Shouldn't Vim with syntax-highlighting and indentation rules be good enough?
