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.
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.
Hah, still relying on butterflies? Real programmers simply use the starting conditions of the universe to understand where their program will spontaneously compile
Emacs was the first bloated IDE!
You shouldn’t let your Visual ideas be Eclipsed, by something Sublime…
Such an IntelliJent comment.
return to your roots: use notepad
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.
Begone, spawn of evil!
Allow the light of Church of Emacs into your heart!
Waiting for an executive order on vim vs neovim.
And between the two of them, a thin line of evil-mode users who claim allegiance to both sides.
A thin line? Is there an Emacs distro that doesn’t default to evil?
White House are not Emacs guys!? That’s not surprising. They believe in ‘you can’t change the program, but the program changes you’.
nano >>>>>>> everything else
Finally, a president I can get behind.
Vim is like the Hotel California.
On (classic) rock stations so much when I was a kid that it makes me want to stab myself in the ears?
Full of prostitutes and heroin addicts?
Obligatory: how to exit vim
vim > emacs, though.
As a vim user, seems emacs is the more difficult one to quit.
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.
Front end dev here. SublimeText all day eryday.
