I’ve used Vim for 20+ years. I like it, you don’t have to. I don’t try to shove it down anyone’s throat - nor do I try to tell you why your favorite tool sucks. Because it probably doesn’t suck - for you. Tell me what you like or what doesn’t work for you and leave the middle school attitude where it belongs.
- IshKebab 3y ago> Vim isn’t for you, and that’s fine. See point 2. Vim isn't for 99% of people but it's somehow the default editor? Most people do not like Vim. That's why this project advertises not having to use Vim, because to 99% of people Vim is something that they don't want or like and can't even quit.
- hnlmorg 3y agoIt's not the default everywhere. Some platforms default with nano. The reason vi(m) and nano are defaults is because they're included in base installs (which a default would need to be). And the reason they're part of base installs is because they have a low footprint. Having, for example, VSCode as the default wouldn't make much sense because base installs might not even have Xorg / Wayland installed. Changing the default is easy though, it's literally just an environmental variable named $EDITOR

- wiseowise 3y agoMost people who use vim absolutely love it, otherwise they wouldn’t use it on day to day basis. Those who don’t usually don’t care.
