Often we have users of emacs and vim that request a way to use their favorite shortcuts or features. Some even ask "Would not be nice if I could use my favorite code editor with Pharo ?"
Actually not only you can do it, its also very easy. So the following video tutorial explains in the first 3 minutes how to do this and then spends another 10 min talking about how this could be automated to be completely automatic and instantaneous.
Everybody is of course totally free to do whatever they want, but really, why the hell would you want to do that ? You lose so much by doing that, I do not even know where to start. A big part of what makes Pharo (or any Smalltalk) special is the IDE written in itself. Editing a .st file has always been possible, it is masochism. There is for example https://github.com/dmatveev/shampoo-emacs which already makes a bit more sense (but even then). Really, why do you think all these big IDE environments exist in the first place ?
