Is this supposed to be funnier than the exiting vim jokes?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I like it ๐Ÿ˜„

I do not get these exiting vim memes. I've been using vim for over 20 years and it was maybe difficult to remember for the first week, tops.

Ah, but have you used ed, the standard editor?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

ed, man! man ed!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have not. But since I learned vi on Linux and Unix, it was using ex as it's 'personality'. ed is not something I have dug into.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Quick search, it appears as though ed is a precursor to sed, which I use all the time. Both of which have a similar context and toolset to ex used in vim.

When i first started using linux and used vim i thought "wow this sucks but i guess its all i got for now"

Little did i know that Nano exists. Never again vim.

Never again.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did you know nano supports syntax highlighting? For some reason it wasn't enabled by default on my first few linuxes. I don't know if it is nowadays.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I did not know that! Tbh i haven't used linux a lot recently. Only just getting back into it for self hosting stuff. But thats good to know! Thanks :)

Funny hiw that's the same thing i went through but i actually switched back to vim (nvim to be exact) after nano

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Everybody's experience is different for sure lol. Whatever works for you man. Vim just doesnt work for my monkey brain.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
