Me giving advice about text editors

Once you try Vim you will never use another text editor. Or any other program for that matter because you won't be able to exit.

If I wanted to hear about what's good about Vim, should I:

a) ask what's good about vim

-OR-

b) assert blindly that there is nothing good about vim so fanboys will come crawling out of the walls tripping over each other to tell me how I'm wrong?

nano just works for me man

Vim is a puzzle based text editor

alias vim="nano"

Helix <3

I do everything with cat, sed and awk.

Fuck your TUIs.

This, but Emacs

Anytime I open Vim I ask the same question.

"how the fuck do I use you?"

then go back to nano

repeat.

NANO GANG RISE

for everything else, there's sublime.

Still don't like it.

Genuinely took most of my notes in college on vim, when you get good it’s just faster.

I've no choice coz I haven't been able to quit for last 7 years.

The only Dad advice you nerds need:

mcedit from the Midnight Commander (mc) tool is the superior text editor.

I don't even run arch, btw.

Also; Don't use vim.

Is the whole point of this community to repost tired old memes or are ya'll just painfully uncreative?

:q!

Sudo apt install AGAIN!

How did these people have "text editor wars" and yet failed to deliver a text editor half as good as microsoft's edit.com ?

I'm sorry nano, you're think you're hot ?

But you put search on CTRL+W !!!

Do you know how stupid that is ?

Just go and try that in your browser ...

I'll stick with my trusty Emacs (and Zile)

In the meantime I'm happy with Kate.

I'm gonna laugh my ass off if someone finds out there was some obscure Emacs fork or clone designed to run Clojure or something, and it's named Again

there is no text editor there is only nano

May I introduce you to our Savior Helix?

You're entitled to your wrong opinion

What about notepad++ under wine?

ed is the standard text editor.

If you don't like Vim, you should stop being a milk-drinking sweetroll-eating WUSS

I like evil/spacemacs because I can get my vim fix virtually, because emacs from a software engineering perspective is beautiful!

Neovim >

No, I don't want to! 😫

I can't try again because I can't exit out ...

HARDER!

What is Again! ? Never heard of that text editor

uses ed

The only reason why I use Nano is so I can act like DankPods while saying it.

Na-no

No thanks, I'm rolling my own text editor with a GUI...

Much prefer Mirco thank you very much.

If you don't like Vim you should try vis.

hx. It was hx that finally made me use vi style navigation and now I choose vim over nano almost always.

I'm gonna find a fallout community and post this there.

Real wizards use ed

U guys are using terminal? Like barbarians?

After 30 years coding in college and professionally, this is the ordering:

• anything else
• sed -i
• vi

It's the worst vietnam-era throwback mess I've ever seen. And in 30 years, I've seen some serious crap.

Nano is better than vim
