Instead of enabling Evil mode globally, I now have it turned on only in buffers with major modes derived from prog-mode or text-mode.

Since Evil is disabled in non-editing buffers like Magit and Dired (where it was a nuisance), I got rid of Evil collection and cut my startup time in half.

@jkreeftmeijer check out meow-mode in case you haven’t seen it yet

@mykhaylo I have, but it was a bit too big of a step for me.

I'll eventually move off Evil completely, but for now I still rely on Evil when I'm in a rush to get something done.

Meow and the like are definitely on my list to check out (I've even started a project somewhere to try and bridge the gap), but that's quite a list.

Have you switched to Meow completely? How has that been?

@jkreeftmeijer I have come from the other side — used (and still do use) vanilla bindings. But I like it.
