Is there a benefit to evil if I am not a vim user?

Discussion

Hello,

I have been using emacs for some time but only for basic edition of files (I know the basic shorcuts but not much more) and only know the exit command in Vim :slight_smile:

I want to improve my usage of emacs for some code development and am starting with Doom Emacs. As a noob in both, is there a benefit to use the evil mode with vim bindings over vanilla emacs bindings?

Does it brings some actual benefits/features or is it mostly helpful for people coming from vim users?

I know this can quickly be a matter of preference but I am curious to hear the experience of other users.

Thanks
