My hot take: Vi, make and C would have gone the way of COBOL a long time ago if it wasn't for a lot of programmers thinking "my tools are more difficult to use, hence I'm a better programmer".
I agree. You should use Neovim instead of Vi nowadays. :P
I agree with C and Make, not with vim/neovim though
I am triggered by that statement.
As a person uses neovim, make and exclusively programs in C I am indeed triggered. Maybe you could argue Make and C are hard but Vi definitely is not (atleast the basics aren't).
I use the unholy IdeaVim and honestly... I love it. I won't pretend that interacting with a heavy IDE while using vim is a great idea, but it makes editing so much more comfortable.
Also while you can use something like nano for editing files in the terminal, vi(m) is much faster for more in-depth editing.
