hacknorris@nixCraft i use my own, duh
Elijah@nixCraft There are two types of people in the world - those who know regex and those who hate Vim. 🤪
івась тарасик@nixCraft That's probably more accurate!
Honestly though, nano and vim are just different styles. Some think in vim, some in emacs/nano. I personally like vim as I feel it better integrates into the posix world as it mimics command-line tools like sed and a subset of it's commands also work in other tools like less. Ultimately, it's whatever works best for you.
But I'll still say, basic exposure to vi[m] is a requirement of running a *nix system and an expert can do more faster in vi[m].

This isn't a code editor it's a prison of the soul, it scars you..... you'll never forget....

GuitarKat@nixCraft Do you not like people? Sounds like it lol
Schamschula@nixCraft As far as I'm concerned: :q
Anything with two modes where you have to memorize keyboard shortcuts (beyond those of readline) is unusable.

Outlander@nixCraft Yeah, it's great but the slope of it's learning curve is that of Mount Everest. Nowadays a lot of people climb it but it's not for everyone :-D
Kenos@nixCraft neovim.

Gert@nixCraft I would have agreed if I hadn't found #helixeditor 😜
Kavo@nixCraft I am using just Vi without m? Am I wierd?
Steve Downey@nixCraft
Emacs of course has an excellent vi implementation.

VSCode is cool but how about that VSCodium? It’s almost like VSCode but maybe a bit less poisoned with Microsoft. Just sayin

@nixCraft the best thing is once they try it, there is no escape (because no one knows how to) 🤣

25 years, 150 websites, masses of shell scripts and web programming, emails and writings and poems and notes, it's like being an octopus, the typing brains are in the tips of my fingers, the main brain is free for thinking about the coding/writing/ideas/logics, ohyes vim + shell + cli + files vim vim vim vim

furby_singh@nixCraft I’ve been using Vim for about 25 years now! It’s really hard to quit.

CPrompt^@nixCraft Is there another editor? Not sure I'm familiar with any other! :p
Chris Drumgoole@nixCraft I used to use vi/vim a lot on the old days. Loved it. My friends thought I was nuts. But I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve been using vscode almost exclusively for the last few years. 😶
@nixCraft learned vim, then just installed vim plugin on all ide/code editor. Vim is good but modern ide + vim plugin is way better.
@nixCraft As an @EmacsUser, I respectfully disagree.
@nixCraft for me vi is the best.
@nixCraft I use the Atari screen editor
j3rry@nixCraft that’s a weird way to spell gedit. Once you get the plugins kicking it’s better than anything.
