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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

That’s non standard though.

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

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

Such an IntelliJent comment.

return to your roots: use notepad

Emacs was the first bloated IDE!

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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 2 years ago

And are accepted by neither!

[–] Shareni@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 13 points 2 years ago

Waiting for an executive order on vim vs neovim.

[–] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

[–] abucci@buc.ci 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Kissaki@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago

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

Obligatory: how to exit vim

vim > emacs, though.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years 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.

nano >>>>>>> everything else

He's got my vote

Front end dev here. SublimeText all day eryday.

[–] criitz@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

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