I've never seen the point in spending time and effort learning and memorising a bunch of contextual menus that I need to point and click through. If I need to do more than simple edits to a file, I'll do the same thing as I would when making simple edits to a file or composing an email, I'll crack open vim and get to work.

Cracked me up good.

You don't need to spend any time or effort memorising a bunch of menus.
Nothing is going to convince me that a more conventional GUI text editor provides better ergonomics than something like vim or emacs.

If you don’t like that kind of editor, that’s fine. You do you.
