Jokes aside, vim as PID 1 is just a bad idea.
Emacs on the other hand: https://github.com/emacs-os/el-init
That's a great idea from GitHub user el-sloppo and Claude.
Did you read the retrospective.md
AI;DR
Then you obviously didn't read it.
Yes. That's literally what I said.
If they couldn't be bothered to write it, I see no reason I should be bothered to read it.
To be fair, I’ve seen this done a long time before LLM slopped everything, but I think they ran emacs as PID2 in that variation.
Anyway, good luck doing it in vimscript.
That settles it. Emacs is better than Vim
I bet this comment actually pissed off some people. Lol
