who needs a UI or even hints as to what you are doing amirite
ozebb, ?
spacedout, 
As a VIM user, I approve.
Elliott, Did I mention I use Arch?
milicent_bystandr, $ pacman install $LINE_15
icedterminal,
error: no operation specified. (use -h for help)
milicent_bystandr,
- goes on web angrily muttering… Finds Arch Forum or Stack Overflow or whatever who cares… *
“Where’s the GUI for pacman? What kind of a useless distro doesn’t have a graphical package manager?! You’re all failures and akshually I use Ubuntu”
lseif,
pacman install?
milicent_bystandr, It’s been a long time…
lseif, since i last have seen my son lost to this monster

If I use VI or VIM I’m going to have to kill the task because I just tried to exit and uggggghhhh why!?
captain_aggravated, 
:q! or :exit or :quit or ZZ…there’s lots of ways to quit Vim.
Jolteon, None of which are the same methods used by other programs.
lseif, and why should it be? vim and its bindings are extremely popular. should window managers all use alt+f4 to kill programs, just because its familiar to new users?
Sanyanov, Yes.
Abnorc, There’s really no point in criticizing something like vim. It has a history and a following, and no one is forcing you to use it. (Unless someone is, in which case you should be annoyed with them, not vim.)
cyanarchy, Yes.
konalt, 
Should word processors all use Ctrl-C to copy?
wookiepedia, EMACS is a great operating system, it only lacks a good editor.
optimal, Georgian 
Vim lacks anything good, except maybe the keybindings.
PopShark, They hated him because he spoke the truth
milicent_bystandr, eVil mode. It’s next on my TODO list to try, so I can go back to Emacs’ fantastic Haskell mode without knackering my left pinkie.
lanolinoil, 
just learn a little elisp and remap to control to a sewing machine pedal :P
milicent_bystandr, Maybe with facial-recognition-mode I can get it to map a grunty squint to ctrl.
lanolinoil, (edited ) I think someone did that with the old Microsoft ir gaming bar thing E: kinect
cows_are_underrated, Why not eVim?
milicent_bystandr, Just that I already know Emacs’ Haskell mode is great. If I get back into Haskelling I suppose I should look around options.
lanolinoil, (edited ) I love this
NoLifeGaming, Micro is great
pete_the_cat, I perfect pico
PsychedSy, Fuck pine use pico.
dipshit, Oh, vim. I wish I knew how to quit you.
Wilzax, : q !
bort, unless you accidentally pressed “q” to early and entered recording-mode…
pete_the_cat, Only if you don’t want to save the file
:x saved the file and exits.
LainOfTheWired, 
Or :wq
callyral, 
or Shift + ZZ
Wilzax, He said quit, not save and exit

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 🤷♂️
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

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.
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.
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
wavebeam, 
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it
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
caseyweederman, sudo XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 DISPLAY=:0 DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=/run/user/1000/bus XAUTHORITY=/home/caseyweederman/.Xauthority gedit
