- binary132 2y ago”Using vi is not a sin, it’s a penance” - you know who
- elashri 2y agoAmen to that. Although I think I feel like I am participating in a war I don't want to be part of. But this has been a line in my shell config since I was teenager. export EDITOR=vim VISUAL=vim # Viva vim, death to emacs
- vincent-manis 2y agoOK, since we're wasting our time on the Pointless Editor War, I shall confess I know exactly one thing about Vim, the command `:q!'. That's all I've ever needed to know.
- sshine 2y agoIt’s one third of what you’ll ever need to use Vim: i <Esc>:w :q
- fragmede 2y agoVim added :x though it doesn't exist in Vim
- fragmede 2y agodoesn't exist in vi
- _generic 2y agoYou can use :wq to do both at the same time.
- sshine 2y agoYes, but that adds one more command. You can also do ZZ instead of :x, if you're playing keystroke golf.
- burnt-resistor 2y agoIt's been reduced to q in lazyvim, at least at the intro screen.
- sumosudo 2y ago<shift> z z Much quicker exit ;)

- burnt-resistor 2y agoTechnoreligious wars are emotional / black-and-white / stupid thinking / herd mentality, a priori. There is more than one way and one tool in the toolbox. You might not "like" every thing, but other things exist, function, and accomplish work.
- elashri 2y agoSorry, I intended this comment more as a joke than a reality. Although I really like vim and don't like emacs.
- InfamousRece 2y agoEmacs has evil mode. Does that make vim a morally superior choice?
- cassianoleal 2y agoNo. It means Emacs, the morally superior one, has a mode that makes it evil - by definition morally inferior. :D
