When I absolutely have to use a text-mode editor, I'd like to use one that I can actually use (...and escape from if necessary).
Oh, Eris... Remove me from this conversation!!! Remove everyone else from this conversation!!!
This was a throwaway joke last summer!!!!
Gaaahhhhhd!!!! STAHP!!!!
@catsalad
There is this saying "A fool with a tool is still a fool"
I remember I had a discussion with a trainer once, he was like "I can show you things you can do with vi that nano can't do." and I was like "Well, that's great for vi. As long as I don't know how to do them, I still prefer nano, because there I know how to do stuff."
(I agree that at least for sysadmins it is important to know how to open, edit and save a file with vi, nano and maybe emacs because you never know what kind of tools you have available to you. But bulk search-and-replace operations? Use your personal preferred workflow for stuff like that and stick to it.)
@briankrebs @tinker @catsalad @anagnostes @20002ist jupp users only drink coffee at home or where itβs reeeeally good (like Haferkater) and arenβt averse to an occasional tea or Γ§ay. They avoid Starbucks like a plague, itβs disgusting. ed(1) is the standard text editor.

I've got good jokes for each, and I was thrown at vi decades ago and just had to survive that trial by fire.
But if you like the others, that's cool, and you do you. My scar tissue says I like vi.

I know vim pretty well. I get it out in certain cases where I need its power.
Otherwise I wrap up in a comfy and soft blanket and use comfy and soft nano.
vim is the Hole Hawg of editors.

Drinking coffee while hating it?
It does sound like a vim user to be fair π€
(Nano user here)

And those who use sed would be ... <thinking> ... Vodka drinkers, definitely vodka drinkers.
@catsalad @tinker @anagnostes @20002ist @briankrebs I feel like the use of nano is less "user too dumb to understand" and more "user is just sick of a text editor being complicated when all they want to do is edit plain text."
Just wait until people find out about Tilde...
