Vim is the only good editor. Vim minimizes keystrokes. Vim is lightweight and fast. Someone scolded me for using nano as a child. Use vim. Vim is customizable. Vim comes preinstalled. Vim has regular expressions. Vim has the best configuration language. Vim is helping poor children in Uganda. Vim is life. I use Vim every day. I remapped every key on my keyboard to optimize performance on Vim. I use Vim to edit text. I use Vim to edit video. I use Vim to launch the nuclear missiles on my linux submarine. Vim supports multiple windows. Vim is a modal editor. Vim is life. Vim is love. Vim loves you. I hate all things not Vim. I will violently eviscerate you if you say "em*cs". There is nothing but Vim. Hail Vim, Editor of All Things.

I downloaded Vim on a whim (hah!) and it absolutely confuses me.

I have vim. I know how to use vim. Sometime I even use vim.

Nevertheless, I prefer Emacs. (My preference is not a prescription.)

ive been using vim for something like 15 years and it is a trap and a prison. i cant use any other editor seriously because my muscle memory keeps trying to do vim things. it's very frustrating. dont do vim, kids

rip to the vim guy btw, passed away a couple weeks ago

Don't most other editors and IDEs offer a half-assed implementation of vi keybindings? I know Emacs has Evil mode and Viper, and I've heard that Visual Studio Code has a package for vi emulation. I suppose they're no substitute for the real thing, though. I have the same problem with Emacs emulation in Visual Studio 2022 at my day job.

I <3 Evil Mode in Emacs. Also, check out the Tridactyl browser extension for Firefox. Gives vi-like keybinds in the browser, quite neat.
