I love how people fight over what's the better editor. I just use whatever makes sense for the time, and it's not always the same one. But if you're happy with just one of them and can make it work for you in any situation, then you do you. That's the point of Linux, or so I thought.

Emacs evil mode enters the chat

VS Code is probably the editor that's easiest to exit. If I ran it on the computer I first ran Emacs on, it'd exit immediately, because VS Code requires a modern version of Windows and that computer had Windows 3.11. If I ran it on the first computer I ran Linux on, it'd also exit immediately because the machine would run out of memory. (...it was a 486DX, I don't remember how much memory it had, but VS Code doesn't run well if your memory is measured in megabytes)

When I was first learning how to code I was working on some beginner project and couldn't figure it out. I asked a friend who knew a few things what I was doing wrong and he hopped on my computer, fixed the code then opened it in vim and told me my project wasn't working because of whatever text editor I was using (I think sublime). So for like a year I hardly learned how to code but I got pretty dang good with vim.

I no understand nano. I hate key combinations

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I first ran into nano when I gave Gentoo a try. I had to edit a few config files, so I ran vi... no vi. Emacs? No Emacs. Well, shit, what am I supposed to do? So I went back a bit and read more carefully, apparently there was a thing called nano.
So I ran that. Ew. It was a clone of an old DOS editor of all things. What kind of lunatic had ported that? Anyway I managed to do my edits with it, added normal editors to the system and was on my way.
It was also the last time I used it.

Ed users are vim lusers on steroids.

I pressed 6 while holding shift, then x. But it just typed ^x in my file.

Maybe I need to swap black and white as I type them, but I don't know how to do that.

Emacs is a table saw, vim is a chainsaw, nano is a scissor. Every problem those 3 solve is a differently sized single sheet of paper.
