This is why I love Sublime Text. It's so fast, it works so well. It isn't trying to be AI, it isn't trying to evolve until it can read email or issue SSL certs via ACME. It's focused on one thing and it does it extremely, extremely well.

this is why i am still on vim

[muppetman]

Ha yes, learning vim was one of the best things I ever did. I can SSH onto a Juniper router and fix up config using vi. I still try to instill in juniors these days "Learn vim!" but everyone just wants to use nano (which I understand but nano isn't preinstalled on many network devices)

> everyone just wants to use nano (which I understand

I do not understand.

I have a very capable colleague/friend who uses nano. Unix hacker type, so I think it is what he is used to from growing up. I still find it strange, but such is the nature of preference.

Nano not powerful, but it is friendly, it shows you its keybinds.

Vim is very powerful, but also very unfriendly.

The difference in effort required to pick up Nano vs Vim is HUGE

I feel like a heathen; I'm using Neovim.

[kzrdude]

I like neovim is the main way now, so I don't feel like a heathen.

[computerfriend]

I also felt a little guilty when making the switch! Totally irrational of course, but still there's something to be said for sticking to the the original.

If you don't use emacs, you are a noob to me...

I am still on "vi"

[xarope]

wow that's two people, including me!

(jokes aside, if I had a choice I'd use vim/neovim, but when I ssh into a remote system that has minimal installs, vi it is)

[antonyh]

It's named vi because when it was made in ancient Rome there were only 6 users.

[stronglikedan]

hey don't be so hard on yourself, everyone makes mistakes!

[deafpolygon]

it's okay, you're still one of us

[dgxyz]

Yeah that. Same here.
