Sources say the decision was made by how long interns spent in each editor. In fact, it appears the vim users simply never exited once they opened the program, presumably because they found it so productive.

We need to set aside our petty differences and fight the true enemy: bloated IDEs.

ed is the standard editor.

[–] notabot@lemm.ee 31 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Bah, a magnetised needle and a steady hand is the one true way to edit code on your prod system.

Excuse me, but real programmers use butterflies.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 8 points 8 months ago

Hah, still relying on butterflies? Real programmers simply use the starting conditions of the universe to understand where their program will spontaneously compile

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 0 points 8 months ago

That’s non standard though.

You shouldn't let your Visual ideas be Eclipsed, by something Sublime...

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago

Such an IntelliJent comment.

[–] funnystuff97@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

return to your roots: use notepad

And between the two of them, a thin line of evil-mode users who claim allegiance to both sides.

[–] something_random_tho@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

And are accepted by neither!

[–] Shareni@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago

A thin line? Is there an Emacs distro that doesn't default to evil?

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 13 points 8 months ago

Waiting for an executive order on vim vs neovim.

[–] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This is what kicks off the second Civil War in the United States. And just the like first time, those treasonous Emacs Confederates will be decisively defeated.

[–] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 17 points 8 months ago

Begone, spawn of evil!

Allow the light of Church of Emacs into your heart!

White House are not Emacs guys!? That's not surprising. They believe in 'you can't change the program, but the program changes you'.

Finally, a president I can get behind.

Vim is like the Hotel California.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

On (classic) rock stations so much when I was a kid that it makes me want to stab myself in the ears?

[–] Shareni@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago

Full of prostitutes and heroin addicts?

[–] abucci@buc.ci 7 points 8 months ago

@andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun I know exactly one vi command. :q!

[–] Kissaki@programming.dev 6 points 8 months ago

I think the guideline should be: future software should be written on a whim

Obligatory: how to exit vim

vim > emacs, though.

[–] Sorse@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 months ago

nano >>>>>>> everything else

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

As a vim user, seems emacs is the more difficult one to quit.

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 0 points 8 months ago

I tell myself I can quit vim, but somehow I keep going back to it...

Emacs just starts too slowly. Helps to break the dopamine cycle.

[–] camr_on@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

He's got my vote

Front end dev here. SublimeText all day eryday.

[–] criitz@reddthat.com 2 points 8 months ago

I just switched from Sublime Text to VSCode, so far so good
