Hmm. I am as bewildered by this as the author. Why would anyone edit shell scripts with notepad?

- btipling 17y agoA terrifying fear of vim modes, maybe. I guess people stick with what they're used to. I don't know, I'm trying here, I really am.
- rbanffy 17y agojoe and nano may be your friends. If one is afraid of Vim, I would not recommend Emacs.
- vegashacker 17y agoThe only excusable reason I can think of is a "one-off" edit on a foreign computer that doesn't already have your editor of choice installed.
- joe_the_user 17y agoBecause they just created a plain vanilla Windows install in a machine not connected to the net? And various pathological EOM apps still use something like a shell script? (the reverse of this is kind-of the only situation in which I use vi, which none-the-less I can use...) Shit happens... I mean, the degree to which users wind-up wedded to the default applications in a given OS should not be underestimated or chalked-up to "morons"...
- rbanffy 17y agoThe real question is why would anyone edit shell scripts under Windows?
- donaq 17y agoI do it sometimes, when my job doesn't allow other OS's. But I install GVim. :p
