Text editor war
Low quality meme
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
bazzett, 
ZQ
NoLifeGaming, Micro is great
pete_the_cat, I perfect pico
PsychedSy, Fuck pine use pico.
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
Veneroso, Nano, based.
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?
uis, 
ed
milicent_bystandr, C-X M-x butterfly
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
AlexSup21, the man behind the slaughter
spacedout, 
As a VIM user, I approve.
lntl,
$ ed
mlg, 
who needs a UI or even hints as to what you are doing amirite
ozebb, ?
MTK, The only editor I need:
Create: printf “TEXT” > FILE
Add: printf “TEXT” >> FILE
No room for mistakes.
Gallardo994, Should both be the same commands. Adding should be done by remembering previous contents, no other way is allowed.
peopleproblems, it doesn’t matter to me.
I’ll have to Google it anyway. then complain about it, and never actually take the time to learn these neat tools
0xD, Do you like playing games? 😁
badbytes, I’ve been using Vim for years, cause I can’t figure out how to close it.
Curly722, After you finally figure it out https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/157f9916-f722-42ea-ad2f-10ee0251ef1f.webm
milicent_bystandr, You came because it looked exciting…
You stayed because you couldn’t leave.
darvocet, You open up a new session and reboot. Always works for me.
ramius345, Just use sed -i like God intended.
appel, “Vim? Nah, no need”
linearchaos, 
I only use Vim, but I appreciate nano as a choice and don’t even really mind visudo opening nano
somenonewho, I appreciate nano as a choice. Sure. But if visudo opens in nano and suddenly I have a bunch of “yoi:wq” in my sudoers I’ll be upset.
laurelraven, When visudo opens nano, I get unreasonably angry about it. I typed “visudo”, not “nanosudo”
Moshpirit, 
I prefer micro over nano. It’s like a middle term
captain_aggravated, Vim user here: Nano is a good text editor, takes a lot less training to pick up and use, and it’s surprisingly capable. If I’m teaching someone how to use the Linux terminal, I’m going to teach them Nano, because they already have enough to learn. Vim is a separate class all its own.
LazaroFilm, 
sudo nano
