This is why I love Sublime Text. It's so fast, it works so well. It isn't trying to be AI, it isn't trying to evolve until it can read email or issue SSL certs via ACME. It's focused on one thing and it does it extremely, extremely well.
- deafpolygon 7mo agothis is why i am still on vim
- dgxyz 7mo agoYeah that. Same here.
- muppetman 7mo agoHa yes, learning vim was one of the best things I ever did. I can SSH onto a Juniper router and fix up config using vi. I still try to instill in juniors these days "Learn vim!" but everyone just wants to use nano (which I understand but nano isn't preinstalled on many network devices)
- computerfriend 7mo ago> everyone just wants to use nano (which I understand I do not understand. I have a very capable colleague/friend who uses nano. Unix hacker type, so I think it is what he is used to from growing up. I still find it strange, but such is the nature of preference.
- small_scombrus 7mo agoNano not powerful, but it is friendly, it shows you its keybinds. Vim is very powerful, but also very unfriendly. The difference in effort required to pick up Nano vs Vim is HUGE
- HoldOnAMinute 7mo agoI am still on "vi"
- deafpolygon 7mo agoit's okay, you're still one of us
- stronglikedan 7mo agohey don't be so hard on yourself, everyone makes mistakes!
- xarope 7mo agowow that's two people, including me! (jokes aside, if I had a choice I'd use vim/neovim, but when I ssh into a remote system that has minimal installs, vi it is)
- antonyh 7mo agoIt's named vi because when it was made in ancient Rome there were only 6 users.
- tombert 7mo agoI feel like a heathen; I'm using Neovim.
- hunterpayne 7mo agoIf you don't use emacs, you are a noob to me...
- computerfriend 7mo agoI also felt a little guilty when making the switch! Totally irrational of course, but still there's something to be said for sticking to the the original.
- kzrdude 7mo agoI like neovim is the main way now, so I don't feel like a heathen.
