Text editor war
Low quality meme
pewgar_seemsimandroid, neovim is better than vim
kirby, neovim ftw
cetvrti_magi, 
Both are good but I prefer Vim.
PrMinisterGR, What about Micro users 🥲
Bishma, 
dgg:wq
ziggurat, Why did you do that! I deleted my whole file! It was important
Bishma, I left the G off the beginning as a guardrail.
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 🤷♂️
LazaroFilm, 
sudo nano
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.
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
shapis, sudo XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 DISPLAY=:0 DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=/run/user/1000/bus XAUTHORITY=/home/caseyweederman/.Xauthority gedit
Reported for hacking.
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
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?
MigratingtoLemmy, I’d probably use helix/codium with vim bindings for more complex projects, with vim for Scripting in python/shell/config files
auf, Finally, a helix user 🤝
MigratingtoLemmy, TBH I haven’t used helix extensively, but I do like that I can just expect things like auto-complete and linting to work, which I would usually expect from something like vscodium, but that’s not cli. So yes, helix is nice. I’m just a bit afraid that I’ll forget my vim bindings because helix does things a little differently:
