You don't have to fight to exit in vim or save it's 3 essential commands and I use nothing else :q, :wq, or just w it's not that hard

Sorry, but i forgot to hit escape, now I need to figure out how to exit it without being able to easily type man vim because I got stuck in Vim again... I got sick of it, ctrl-x/s/q or whatever is much easier imo

And i have to memorize what : w q ! each do because I will use them all at some point. And i have to get used to all of this because?? Vim is slightly better for other people?? Fuck outta here, I'm sticking with nano/micro/whatever else is better than vim
