@prnc - Did you try the evil-lisp-state stuff that's built into Spacemacs (in the SPC k menu)?

evil-lisp-state seems to verbose lispyvill way more terse

@jeff.terrell yeah, I'm using evil-lisp-state for wrangling parentheses, all your slurping, wrapping, barfing etc. what I miss is good support of vim editing commands in the context of lisp, e.g. caW being aware that parentheses are not part of the W*ord etc., cc not leaving parens unbalanced *and leaving the point in the right place for further editing, otherwise it breaks vim editing flow

so far I found lispyville to be the only one doing the right thing most of the time
