@prahou that might soon change with Vim falling to the slopcode

@hazelnot @prahou the maintainer lost his mind, merged a bunch of code from Claude, and even started just copy-pasting Claude's comments when reviewing pull requests.

Needless to say, people aren't happy and everyone's looking to flee. There's also a hard fork from before the LLM slopification started, so hopefully that picks up cause there really isn't any other editor that does the job for me. (and before you ask, neovim fell to the slop as well)

@hazelnot @prahou I've just had way too many people tell me to go to neovim after I said that I'm looking for something else to switch to after Vim fell to the slopware (as if I haven't also spent years saying over and over again why NeoVim has absolutely nothing that I like about Vim except for the basic modal editing that you'd also get with busybox vi)

@reiddragon @prahou lol fair, I don't really understand most of your comment since I'm not a programmer and the few times I do write code I use, like, Kate lmao

@hazelnot @prahou it starts making a lot more sense when you think of it as a religion (jk)

modal editing is just the name for when instead of letters typing and actions being on combos like Ctrl+c, alt+g etc, you have a bunch of modes where normal mode has actions bound to keys, insert mode actually types, etc (think of it like how in video games wasd moves your character except when you're in the chat, and apply it to code/text editors)
