Text editor war - Lemmy

Low quality meme

I was talking with a sysadmin once who intentionally removed nano and emacs from any system he was granted access to. His explanation was “if they can’t use vim I don’t want them on my machines”
If a sysadmin expected me to use vim for every minor config tweak, I wouldn’t want to be on their machines either.
I find vim quicker and easier for quick edits too, mostly because I’ve not bothered to learn anything but vim since it’s on everything (except, for some odd reason, the default build of Gentoo)
