  ...but then the difficulty of quitting Vim becomes a feature. Can't crash the system by exiting, if you can't exit (taps head meaningfully). /s

    Execute tmux using vim shell command. Kill -9 vim /worth a shot?

      lol, the nuclear option. You don't mess around, but really, I think the answer is, never quit Vim.

      PID 1 is special and can not be killed with signal 9 for security reasons. See kill(2).

  What do you want to exit for? There’s only two reasons for a software engineer to use a computer: web browsing and Vim. Since you can already run commands and create files within Vim, there is nothing else to do. And soon, the web browsing part can be eliminated by running a GPT query to fetch answers to questions, right in your Vim terminal. GPT can dump pages of text right into a new buffer for manipulation. All roads lead to Vim. You don’t need anything else. Developers used vim 30 years ago and they’ll use it 30 years from now in 2053.
