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.)

Dear all,

It is with a heavy heart that we have to inform you that Bram Moolenaar passed away on 3 August 2023. Bram was suffering from a medical condition that progressed quickly over the last few weeks.

Bram dedicated a large part of his life to VIM and he was very proud of the VIM community that you are all part of.

quoting codl:

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.

Not only do I use Vim, I legitimately have no plugins or anything else of that sort installed. I know how to edit, I know how to mass-delete text, and I know how to save and quit. It works for me, it is simple yet clean. Do need to probably figure out how to search for text, but that shouldn't be too hard to do. Also, same for copying and pasting, it shouldn't be too hard to figure that one out eventually.

I'm pretty sure we have a whole library shelf full of vim v. emacs discussions across the internet. I'm going to contribute to the thread by calling back and with forward pleasure at the discussions held regarding the benefits of vim versus emacs, the superior text and everything editor.

Emacs rules, vim drools.

Meanwhile, nano is in the back casually modifying a hundred thousand .yaml files each hour.
