I use the VIM plugin in my IDE. The best of both worlds!
Yup me too.
ed is the only true editor
Do you all seriously edit text files directly‽
I use
hexeditfor all my programming, that way I can see my text's source code. It allows things that are impossible with lesser editors, like differentiate l and 1. Newer versions even provide a "live view" that shows your text's output right beside its source, updated almost instantly. I don't personally use it as it consumes a lot of resources but it's a great help if you're just starting out.That's why I use a vimitor instead.
nano for me, please.
You can't spell vim without ed and em.
I dislike magic. Theres so much stuff you never learn if you rely on magic. Like most people got no clue what a csproj file contains. And neither did I. Just a bunch of xml lines grouped seemingly randomly. And sln files are hard (not impossible) to create or modify without that
dotnet slnmagic (or VS gui).And despite not being a vim user myself even I had to laugh at how those article authors completely missed the point of vim. 🤣

Emacs was my first, and it will be my last!
Where the helix people at?! 🦀
Comedy indeed. Try using a fancy IDE on an embedded system…. Laughs all around. Vim is the right tool.
That guys voice is like nails on a chalkboard
You can pry Vim from my cold, dead hands.
