Want to use xemacs? sorry you need a weird dependency. Ok lets use emacs. Still not installed. Ok lets use nano... wait how do i save this again?
- pbalau 8y agoCtrl+o, it's literally on the screen at all times. People that use vi, and not vim, use it, as my very limited experience with knowing one person doing it, is because vi is available everywhere AND is more powerful than nano. And since they have to rely on vi, they might as well learn it fully.
- tinus_hn 8y agoCan you imagine people use vi because they like the way it works? I do. The fact that it is available everywhere is a nice bonus.
- jrockway 8y agoI have mg installed everywhere.
