  M-x, C-x, M-Shift-x is emacs, not vim. It's :q<Enter> in vim. and to suction: because vi pre-dated those paradigms

    Or ZZ if you want to save and exit. Saves a whole second! Also, for those of you who think vim is old, it’s got nothin’ on Ed. https://cs.wellesley.edu/~cs249/Resources/ed_is_the_standard_text_editor.html https://cs.wellesley.edu/~cs249/Resources/ed_is_the_standard...

    Vi predating certain paradigms explains why it doesn't follow them. But it doesn't make it any easier for a random developer who grew up in the context of those paradigms. A new developer wondering whether they should adopt some modern vi is not being unreasonable for searching out something that does follow the prevailing customs. (But they are on a fools errand, because there are exactly zero good general purpose developer environments and the question I have is which of gvim, intellij or vscodium pisses me off least today.)

Can't use my mouse with it. And it doesn't look nice. And it requires a shortcut palette different than the OS conventions. I bought VS Code with $0.00 and sent the rest to needy kids in Uganda.

  Vim has had mouse support for a long time.
