Text editor war
Low quality meme
EqMinMax, 
vim and emacs are ide like text editors.
Titou, 
Long live to emacs!
creation7758, Vim user here. I still can’t find the value of c to the power of x in nano. Does anyone have the answer?
Isthisreddit, Nedit - was a great simple editor i discovered on SGI IRIX, still use it today. Also, emacs is in a class of itself, it’s more OS than text editor 🤣
sandriver,
nanofor editing config files,emacsif I’m writing code…kwriteorjoplinif I need a scratch pad or to share notes between devices respectively
Creatortray, Where’s vscode? Lol
Buddahriffic, There’s several GB of it sitting in my home directory, which unfortunately my admin limits to several GB, so now my vim search buffer doesn’t update anymore until I delete code’s cache again.
hakunawazo, We need to :q! this war for good.
Deuces, Those who don’t write history to drive are destined to repeat it.
PrMinisterGR, What about Micro users 🥲
shapis, (edited ) 
I wish I could just edit text files as sudo with the default gnome text editor instead.
bronxasaur, Does ’sudo gedit’ not work?
Disclaimer: I use neither gnome nor gedit.
shapis, Does ’sudo gedit’ not work?
If my memory doesn’t fail me it used to. But gedit isnt the default text editor anymore. The new one is quite cool and clean.
It doesnt work with sudo though sadly. It’s not the biggest problem tho, just a small annoyance, using the occasional sudo nano to edit files isnt a big deal.
SaltyIceteaMaker, I heard that it is safer to do sudoedit [file] instead of sudo [editor] [file]. At least it’s like this in vim. Idk about nano and Emacs tho

Reported for hacking.
wavebeam, 
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it
onlinepersona, Both are inferior to IDEs when working locally on a software project 🤷
possiblylinux127, Not really as both VIM and Emacs are way more flexible. I use Neovim has it uses Lua for configuration and has a ton of plugins
PlexSheep, In the world of text editors, VIM, specifically NeoVim is the shining light. Standing at the pinnacle of creation at a height that can only be reached by zealous emacs users.
They have a learning curve through. Nano is obviously easier, but it’s also just a basic editor.
:x
optimal, Georgian 
As an Emacs user, Neovim was like chains. Shackles.

Micro users: am i joke to you
(I use VSCode)
caseyweederman, I want to use Micro so badly but my fingers only know Nano’s nonsense shortcut keys.
Also I couldn’t figure out how to make it use real tabs instead of a bunch of spaces. Not great for Python scripts.
Buddahriffic, I’ve never had to worry about tabs vs spaces with Python. Makefile, on the other hand…
lemmesay, 
at least use vscodium. vscode isn’t free(libre) software.
Presi300, Ik about vscodium, it doesn’t have all extensions
lemmesay, you can just download those via Microsoft’s website as vsix and import them to codium. and maybe add an issue/pr in extension’s repo so that it’s available on open-vsix next time. :)
Presi300, I’ve actually been trying vscodium for a few days now, and it’s mostly been pretty good, though idk if I’ll bother switching to it just yet…
cyanarchy, It’s okay, I’m used to being ignored.
Sanyanov, Use DE and edit files with graphical editors like a normal human being.
Problem solved.
Sanyanov, (But also, nano for the win)
josefo, cries in ssh
Sanyanov, devilishly smiles in rdp
josefo, you monster
Ildar, 
I’m the only one who use joe?
Heavybell, 
No, but it might just be us…
Siegfried, I thought this was a Joe mama joke
waldyrious, Wow, it’s the first time I come across anyone who says they use
joe. How does it differ fromnanoandmicro?Btw, I used to use
ditseveral years ago, but swapped it formicrodue to some keyboard shortcut issues (which are probably fixed now).
Ildar, it’s actually hard to say that I use it, once in five years I need to edit file in terminal - and joe just traditional for me 🤷♂️
