It is, but the lack of official Microsoft extensions makes life a little harder

sigma vim user

Omega neovim user
- gigachad ed user
- Except I'm too dumb to use even the neovim plugin manager let alone configure the thing. I have to copy existing configs like a noob :(

My serial killer trait is that I use vi instead of vim cause I'm too lazy to type the extra character. Tho if for some reason, vi tab completed to vim, I'd probably use vim

alias v=vim. There, just saved you two keystrokes.
- {vi} = 2 {vim} = 3 {v=vim} = 5
  
  I'd need to run vi at least 5 times to have a net gain in saving keystrokes. I'm typically in effemerial systems created by the users of our env, so rarely am I going to gain those strokes back
  
  But also, why am I trying to apply logic to this? I'll often cat a file before editing it. This shit is just illogical idiosyncrasies I've picked up over the years. I'm probably creating posthoc justifications for insane things I do cause it's hard to override muscle memory
I use nano.

Nano >> vi/vim, emacs
- 4 letters < 2 letters.
  
  vi forever.
- Ok but why use nano when micro literally exists
Alias?
- Aliases are just bloat! You can do just fine without them. Heck, why not remove the ASCII conversion and read everything in hex or binary?
  
  It's all about SPEED and efficiency here!
- I'm in DevOps so I'm in a lot of effemerial systems so in practice, I will run into systems where profile hasn't been set up. Tho I do like the idea of making sure all systems properly have that aliased cause it'd be serial killer vibes to spend hours of time to make sure that I can save a keystroke.
  
  Tho it'd never make it through PR. Also, wild require explaining to my coworkers that I do this
Most all distros alias vi to vim already, so it makes no difference.
- You use vi because you are lazy.
  
  I used vi because I am too stupid to close it.
  
  We are not the same.
- I'll have to check tomarrow if RHEL and UBI do this.
  
  Did some quick googling and looks like cent has that alias by default but doesn't do it when root. Which would explain why I do get inconsistent results with vi. I never thought about it in detail besides just knowing that there are some visual changes. Thanks for the info, I'll be noticing this now that I know!
Vi is totally fine to quickly make small changes to e.g. a config file on a server. I wouldn't like to program in vi though.
- You are missing out! I used to only use vim to edit config files. So I knew my way around (albeit, slowly). I installed the IdeaVim plugin a week ago and learned some new key bindings I wasn't using. A week in I'm almost faster than before! And it's only going to get better after I've acquired muscle memory (I'm nearly there.) and move on to complex key bindings/sequences. Then it will probably be as if the cursor is directly connected to my mind. I'm hopeful because I've seen a mentor of mine do it.
- I do most of my programming in vscode but when I need a cli editor, I use vi

Meanwhile webstorm/intelliJ users:

signature look of superiority

empty wallet

I bought a license for intellij and it was my favorite until someone showed me vscode. So much quicker performance even with tons of plugins. Nano for config edits bc I hate vi/m and emacs. Multi-cursors are my favorite. Someone showed me how a multi-cursor package in emacs works and that just reinforced to me how much I don't like emacs.
Nope 😉

Emacs sucks. Vim is so much better. And vscode is okay.

Go ahead. Down vote me. I don't care. This isn't Reddit lol.

Vim is a pain to configure
- Try Lunarvim, it's neovim with a bunch of great Plugins and configuration settings out of the box.
- Vim has vim9 script now which is very similar to common scripting languages like Typescript.
  
  Vim also doesn't need tons of configuration.
- I'm going to give what I've realized newer folks to Vim think is a scorching hot take: VimL is nice. Theyre the same editor commands you use in your day to day life, even if you're using NeoVim + Lua, just all written out in a file.
  
  That said, using NeoVim + Lua makes it far easier to organize your config, which also makes it easier to write more complex configs. It's like the difference between building a shed around back for your home office vs building a cathedral. Its fine to work in a shed, but once you know you can build a cathedral, you're kinda tempted to just up and do it
- At first maybe. But when you get your vim config well honed over time you're good. Plus there's things like pathogen or other frameworks to add plugins and stuff.
Vim sucks, Emacs is the best editor in the world
- Nuh uh!!!! Vim is better! So much better!!!! Emacs sucks balls!
I use vscode with vim key bindings. It's amazing!
You haven't switched to cursor yet?
I use both emacs and vim, each have their own use cases
stock emacs sucks, doom emacs ftw
This isn't Reddit lol.

Genuinely curious what you think the difference is

VS code is pretty amazing though

You guys recommend VSCodium over VSCode. Is there a working sync solution similar to the one built into VSCode where you can sync all settings and extensions between machines?

Yes! It's this one https://open-vsx.org/extension/zokugun/sync-settings I really like it for using a normal repository over a "gist" and so you can also use any git server provider, I think the developer is also a contributor of VSCodium itself

I generally code in VSCode, and manage org-roam notes and information in Emacs. Works well enough for me.

Any particular reason why you don't code in Emacs? Since you already set up Org Mode and Org Roam, I'm sure you know how the configuration works and how to write some Elisp. It's actually not that much work to set up all the things you would need for programming (lsp-mode, etc.)
- I guess I just preferred VSCode for coding? Every time I've tried to use Emacs for my coding workflows I've given up, I think I'm just used to VSCode in that respect. It is weird, I know.

I genuinely think it's funny that in a post that isn't making fun of Emacs you felt the need to defend Emacs.

It's making fun of Emacs users for always finding ways to talk about Emacs. (Which I don't think is a real problem anymore)
- I couldn't help myself xD, i think its just part of being an emacs-er :D
I use vscode with vim plugin. I find this to be a pretty great combo, for me at least
- VS Code + vim plugin is sooo slooow. I'm happy it works for you but I can't wait to finish on boarding my onboarding buddy so I can go back to vim where I belong
- I do too... but it's not perfect. If you use the extension that uses neovim in the background is seems is the best option but still I miss my "never needing a mouse" feeling I had on emacs. I mean maybe is just lack of knowing keybindings... but back on the day when I used spacemacs it was all so intuitive.
  
  I also miss magit....
What does CUI mean?
- sorry, meant CUA (Common User Access). Its type of editor that uses the ctrl+c / ctrl+v / ctrl+x for things like copy / paste / cut, etc. Most popular editors use this type of editing mode. Its also known as a non-modal editor.

What's a plugin? What's VSCode?

DBase IV does not need any of this.
