RIP, Mr. Bram Moolenaar.

Thank you for the VIM.

Now the time has come for the VIM future.

Or we could all just move to nano and be less frustrated.

Damn people here really hate nano 😂

Na, it’s just that a memorial post is a time to pause the editor wars, if only for a moment, and pay respect.

[-] havokdj@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Nah I'll pass on that, nano feels dirty.

[-] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

I'm rarely as frustrated as when something opens with nano when I'm expecting Vim.

I mean it was on a response with a link detailing the single threaded nature of vim development.. I don't think it was inappropriate

ed is the standard text editor.

[-] tun@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

I started with nano, learnt vim and now using neovim.

[-] lawrence@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I am waiting for neovim 1.0, using vim until there.

[-] tun@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Neovim is stable even though it is still using minor version number.

The eco system booms after 0.5 (lua support, lsp and treesitter) and after lazy.nvim.
