I wouldn't be too surprised if you were right. In an advanced comp sci class I took recently I was surprised to find that when we had to ssh into the university's supercomputer and edit some code something liked 75% of students used nano and only a quarter used vim. These are people early in their career using a low latency connection but it still surprised me.
- RamenJunkie_ 10y agoMy experience is that it's easier to remember the commands for Nano. vi confuses the hell out of me. I'm not actually a Comp Sci major or anything, maybe that matters?
- daveguy 10y agoIt does matter. When you're editing code in all kinds of terminals over 4 years the basics become ingrained. Really knowing how to quit at first and being able to get to the different modes makes a big difference. Also using it on your home computer helps. Once you get used to it other editors seem cumbersome.
- dllthomas 10y agoThe thing about vim is that the interface is a language. It certainly takes some learning. Check out vim-adventures.com
