Emacs was nice. Integrated, powerful, quick, easy to look things up. Shame that it locks up the windowing system under Linux. Yeah, that's a bug report for Ubuntu, but it happens to me under Arch.

So I'm back on Vim. But I do miss Emacs a bit. For one, working with multiple files was a sinch. But what about in Vim?

IELM Emacs Lisp Mode

M-x ielm

This brings up a dedicated interactive Emacs Lisp REPL, a bit like the one that SLIME provides for Common Lisp. It's a crap-load easier than doing C-x C-e or C-j on things and peering at the mini-buffer output.

Like SLIME's REPL, pressing M-p will go back in history, and M-n forward. The mode works just fine with paredit mode, which I personally love. Handy!
