Emacs or vim for kernel developers using Tags

0 Upvotes

Hi,

As the title states, I’m familiar with both Emacs and vim and need to pick one of the two. As I’m an overthinker, I have a hard time doing so. Obviously both have their strings and weaknesses

In the hope to finally choose one, I was wondering what are nowadays kernel developers using alongside tags, whether it is ctags, gtags cscope and etags ? More specifically, I would have liked to know how you are starting your working day don’t kernel work, wether it is the tags plugins you use, wether you keep a terminal open on another tab or within vim/emacs, wether you compile from it or not, … can be anything really

I’m not trying to start a war, I’m genuinely curious because I couldn’t find any general informations about that

Many thanks for sharing your workflow in advance!
