Vim... does not have a zero learning curve.

For me, the huge downside of emacs is the not-very-fast single-threaded virtual machine with dynamic scope and one huge global namespace. It does an incredible number of cool things, some of them you can't find anywhere else, but I always end up bailing for an editor where I can reliably type and have characters show up instantly.

Slight error, yes vim has a learning curve.

Vim also has modes.

But I guess you've never heard of Larry Tesler or Jeff Raskin, either.

[crimsonalucard]

I actually (honestly) haven't heard of them. Are they your programming idols? Are they beyond reproach? Do you worship them and snark at anyone who criticizes there ideas?

[DonHopkins]

Obviously you've also never heard of google.

[crimsonalucard]

Yeah (Obviously)

[DonHopkins]

So when you said "(honestly)", you actually meant "(dishonestly)", correct?

Do you also "(honestly)" believe Trump was being sarcastic when he told everyone to inject bleach?

Vim has a very short learning curve, because the only command you need to learn is ":q!".
