You used the wrong icon. It should be emacs
Yeah, emacs makes way more sense for this one
The only thing emacs is missing is a text editor
That actually made me laugh out loud. Well done
oh man. all the old jokes are new again. shit, am i basically a dad now?
Vi vs EMACS jokes are well within grandpa territory now. Sorry.
I saw that reply and figured I'd just let the whippersnappers enjoy themselves 😅
it's a healthy sign of a community when dad jokes enter the cultural milieu as something that's passed from generation to generation. we inherited these jokes, handed them down, and someday they'll be handed down again
That's why evil-mode exists
The only thing emacs is missing is a text editor
How dare you. I'm sending the church of emacs after your ass.
Sounds like vim is aspiring to be Emacs.
only because once you start using vim, you can't stop. why do you think people make full on operating systems within vim?
because they can't leave.
what sort of honoric is et al, does it make you plural?
no no McS. et al., PhD is mf actual family name. Trying a bit too hard to get a great academic career.
I know it's a classic but confused how I'm supposed to use Vim to send an email
Already got my Vim, any tips?
Mom: we have Google Maps at home

Most powerful "text editor" you can imagine inside a command line interface. It has unlimited super wild keyboard shortcuts and people on the internet make fun about it, that the only way to exit vim is by turning off the machine, because they don't know the shortcut.
Vim is a sorry excuse of Emacs. Which is the editor made in and for the language of God, Lisp
This would be more believable with eMacs tbh
This feels like a meme a vim user would make about emacs being bloated
One night there was a storm, and Master Wq’s house collapsed. The next morning he began to build it again using his old tools. His novice came to help him, and they built for a while and were making good progress. As they worked, the novice began to tell Master Wq of his latest accomplishments.
“Master, I have developed a wonderful Vim script to give all sorts of useful information about a document. It counts the words, the sentences, the paragraphs, and even tells you what kind of document it is using the syntax highlighting rules. I use it in my pipelines all the time. It is a thing of beauty, and I am very proud. Truly, Vim is the greatest tool!”
Master Wq did not reply. Thinking he had unwittingly angered his master, the novice fell silent and continued his work.
The novice finished aligning two beams and had positioned a nail ready for beating into the wood, but found the hammer was out of reach.
“Would you pass me the hammer, master?”
Master Wq handed the novice a saw.
At once, the novice was enlightened.
Text editors should be simple and approachable above all. Nano is undeniably the best by this definition.
I do not agree with your premise. Some editors should be simple and approachable above all. Some should also be super customizable and efficient to use for those who want do dive deep into their editor.
I probably should have specified that I use a GUI IDE for the most part and text editing on the CLI is usually just quick changes to config files on servers and stuff. If you do your main dev work in CLI, respect and yeah you should be using Vim or Emacs with a shitload of customization.
it feels like it was made quickly after people complained about vim or emacs bein too hard and then just minimally maintained
Text editors should be simple and approachable above all.
Why? I'd say they should edit text well above all.
"YESS! YESSSSS! GIVE IN TO YOUR EMACS SIDE!!!"
Google Search really sucks these days. I can't find any images of Richard M. Stallman as a Sith lord, even though I'm sure vi fans have made several edits by now. ...It's been a while.
This is one of those threads where it is like all of you are just speaking funny(?) gibberish at each other.
This would be funnier if it were emacs since that's the one that has a metric ton of plugins for all of these
I much prefer handwriting in shorthand, scanning it in, running it through OCR, and cat to a file.
Hint: :q!
