Ed is king. Every single time I have to work on a severely resource constrained system I always use Ed.
That's literally never happened to me but that won't stop me from saying it.
I mean, I don't know how severly resource constrained a system has to be to not even be able to run vi.

enlightened echo user
Except I'm too dumb to use even the neovim plugin manager let alone configure the thing. I have to copy existing configs like a noob :(
Isn't copying from others how everyone does (neo)vim? Besides, I'm even "worse" and just use lazyvim.
My serial killer trait is that I use vi instead of vim cause I'm too lazy to type the extra character. Tho if for some reason, vi tab completed to vim, I'd probably use vim
alias v=vim. There, just saved you two keystrokes.
{vi} = 2
{vim} = 3
{v=vim} = 5
I'd need to run vi at least 5 times to have a net gain in saving keystrokes. I'm typically in effemerial systems created by the users of our env, so rarely am I going to gain those strokes back
But also, why am I trying to apply logic to this? I'll often cat a file before editing it. This shit is just illogical idiosyncrasies I've picked up over the years. I'm probably creating posthoc justifications for insane things I do cause it's hard to override muscle memory
I use nano.
Nano >> vi/vim, emacs
4 letters < 2 letters.
vi forever.
Ok but why use nano when micro literally exists
Alias?
Aliases are just bloat! You can do just fine without them. Heck, why not remove the ASCII conversion and read everything in hex or binary?
It's all about SPEED and efficiency here!

Most all distros alias vi to vim already, so it makes no difference.
You use vi because you are lazy.
I used vi because I am too stupid to close it.
We are not the same.

Vi is totally fine to quickly make small changes to e.g. a config file on a server. I wouldn't like to program in vi though.

Codium you dorks
Emacs sucks. Vim is so much better. And vscode is okay.
Go ahead. Down vote me. I don't care. This isn't Reddit lol.
Vim is a pain to configure
Vim has vim9 script now which is very similar to common scripting languages like Typescript.
Vim also doesn't need tons of configuration.

I use vscode with vim key bindings. It's amazing!
I use both emacs and vim, each have their own use cases

VS code is pretty amazing though
You guys recommend VSCodium over VSCode. Is there a working sync solution similar to the one built into VSCode where you can sync all settings and extensions between machines?
Yes! It's this one https://open-vsx.org/extension/zokugun/sync-settings I really like it for using a normal repository over a "gist" and so you can also use any git server provider, I think the developer is also a contributor of VSCodium itself
I generally code in VSCode, and manage org-roam notes and information in Emacs. Works well enough for me.
Any particular reason why you don't code in Emacs? Since you already set up Org Mode and Org Roam, I'm sure you know how the configuration works and how to write some Elisp. It's actually not that much work to set up all the things you would need for programming (lsp-mode, etc.)

What's a plugin? What's VSCode?
DBase IV does not need any of this.
