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

:q!

nano just works for me man

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 minute ago

Getting used to vim has made nano unusable for me. The muscle memory is too strong. That and all of the regex and plugin features (ex. LSP) are just too useful.

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I liked Micro just a little bit more than Nano

[–] 299792458ms@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 hour ago

I tried Micro and I found that its just Nano with a better interface and much easier to use. Its great actually but I like the vim movements.

ed is the standard text editor.

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.

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 16 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

I also had that experience with emacs, which has a built in help system. I couldn't find a topic on 'exit' or 'quit' and refused to just search online.

Took me half an hour.

and refused to just search online

Unless you were f*cked by your ISP as I am right now, that's having some balls. Or being masochist. But nothing in between

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?

[–] babybus@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

You shouldn't talk about vim at all! Just write that vscode is the most flexible code editor.

[–] LucidNightmare@lemm.ee 2 points 22 minutes ago

Don’t use Microsoft’s version. Use Vscodium! :)

Doesn't matter we will tell you either way.

  • Instead of simply shortcuts, vim uses "chords". Every new shortcut I learn can be combined intuitively* with all the other shortcuts I know.
  • Because of this there's no faster way to edit files than Vim in the hands of an experienced user.
  • this let's me spend almost no time editing code, freeing up the rest of my time for swearing at piss poor documentation.

* I use "intuitively" here in a way that not merely stretches, but outright abuses the definition of the word.

i haven't tried it but I'm sick of ubuntu being years behind on vim versions, what's good about neovim?

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

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] smooth_tea@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I'm sure someone already made a graph plotting the hours wasted learning vs the seconds gained not moving your mouse.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 minutes ago

This. If it was your sole tool for daily tasks it makes sense, once a month to edit a config file...not so much.

When I started working we had HP Unix Silicon Graphics systems, VI was our only text editor...so I have some commands as muscle memory. The rest of commands I open my tractor feed help printout from 30 years ago

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

[–] ma1w4re@lemm.ee 4 points 5 hours ago

But I love both vim and milk 🥺🥺🥺

In the meantime I'm happy with Kate.
