Counterpoint (or at least counter-consideration): Sometimes Vim is really, truly, absolutely the very best tool for the job and very much worth your time.
I learned Vim because I had to edit code through an ssh tunnel, limited to text only, and nano just wasn't cutting it any more. This is pretty much the exact thing vim was born to do, so it was a pretty clear win to learn Vim, despite the horrifying learning curve. And now I know Vim!
- SoftTalker 2y agoWell there are a lot of text-only editors better than nano. Emacs of course is the big one, but there are probably a half-dozen others with varying amounts of featuers. Unless you also meant "installed by default" then vi[m] is probably about it.
