If you were talking about emacs, sure. But this is vi(m), it's not even a web browser, let alone a full operating system.

Oh, is that what we're gonna do today? We're gonna fight?

I didn't make such statement, don't strawman me into this fight. But OP asked why you would need to exit out of it. Well maybe because one needs to do other things than edit text. Which wouldn't be the case if one were to use emacs.

Now you've gone and made this personal, buddy.

I'm not your friend, pal.

Why would you do anything other than edit text? That's what a pc is for!

[-] notabot@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago

A question that's been on my mind for a while: can you run vim in emacs? That way you'd have the best editor in the most comprehensive OS.

[-] 0x30507DE@lemmy.today 5 points 4 months ago

In theory you can fire up vi(m) in an emacs terminal, so... I guess?

Why would I want an OS to edit text? It's already on *nix - I want the best text editor smh
