RIP. I started using Vim on Slackware iirc. Haven’t stopped.

I checked out various other clones back in the day — vim was way better afaict.

PS: A major reason I use Vim rather than Emacs is that the arrow keys worked in Vim but not emacs. On Slackware. No I don’t use the ijkl keys to move in Vim. :) :) #blubvimmer

Hmm. I also first used vim inside of Slackware and also use arrow keys in vim.

Not sure I've ever run into another person who admitted that publicly. Not that I think it's something that one should actually be ashamed of, it makes total sense. Just not a popular approach.
