"Another red flag is bashing vim."
The website in context of discussing their inline editor says, "Ditch vim for quick updates.". You seem to have a very low threshold for what is considered bashing.
- block_dagger 3y agoAgree, but I think the usage of “ditch” is a bit snarky.
- orlp 3y ago"Ditch Vim" is definitely weird wording for people (like myself) that consider Vin great. I can understand it for those who don't grok it though, then it's rather frustrating.
- xuhu 3y agoI've never seen 'ditch' being used in a flattering context.
- codetrotter 3y agoI use vim and like vim. I think that sentence is not aimed at us, and you have to read the whole paragraph as one. I use vim keybindings in the JetBrains IDEs I use. And that’s because I came from vim. For me vim is the natural choice. And I use my JetBrain IDEs most of the time because of the added features. But for people who don’t like vim particularly much but who only use vim because they need “something” for small edits, I can see that it would be attractive to them to have a small VSCode-like editor for quick edits, when they normally use VSCode as their IDE. That’s the context you need to see it from, I think. For those people, it’d be an advantage to ditch vim, as they never particularly liked vim in the first place.
- sawka 3y agoDidn't realize that was offensive (although I am an emacs user)! Just updated the website to change that wording to "Great alternative to vim for new terminal users or quick updates!" :)
