now that vim is ai slop and emacs has banned ai contributions, i declare the editor wars over with an emacs victory
viper-mode :3c
datenwolf@datenwolf yes! that's probably the better option for most people tbh
i actually don't hate vim, i just find the editor wars to be funny

Yes, but did you ever open Vim in front of RMS's eyes so that he could type a few terms that came up in an afk discussion into your ~/notes.txt ?
tusharhero@datenwolf @jiub I think he will struggle to type anything into it
Sort of… what happened was, that RMS instead just opted for voice dictation, having me do the typing.
ArneBab@datenwolf I don’t think I was there, but I’d sure have liked to see that ☺
(I use Emacs and I still remember how sourceforge SVN greeted me with a vim editor and I killed the terminal to get out -- that’s why I learned vim basics before learning Emacs)
@tusharhero @jiub
Forgot to set EDITOR in your ~/.profile – eh? Funny thing is, Emacs was the first *nix editor I learnt, using it excessively around the turn of the century.
But when I got to do more and more work over SSH over laggy connections I tried Vim and its modeal line oriented way of doing things and immediately took to it.
@datenwolf I still had a Mac back then and didn’t even know about ~/.profile
My main use for an editor is writing, code or prose, and for that modal editing annoys me.
That said: magit is modal editing to the core, and it’s among the most beloved Emacs tools.

@datenwolf (via SSH I mostly use nano)
