On my laptop, I update my bashrc on Excel, in Wine, then export it as a PDF, OCR to .md, Pandoc it to an .Org, and then finally, write it down on paper and re-type it on my phone's Termux's Emacs instance, then TRAMP it to my PC, in the other room.

I use biebian, btw.

I once fixed my bashrc file with libreoffice

Nah... vim users fight emacs users, but not nano users. Wrong league. We do not beat little children ;)

nano friends rise up!

nano gang

Vim is pretty easy for me because I'm used to it. Nano is very difficult to use for me because I've rarely used it.

Sometimes you don't even have the luxury of nano. Any moderately advanced Linux user should probably learn the basics of vi. Just knowing how to insert text and save it can fix a system that's stuck in recovery. Even if it's just to add a comment in front of a line in a config file.

I’ve come to the conclusion, people who use vim just continue to do so out of a stubborn sense of pride for finally learning the key combinations.

Vim (or emacs, or any other advanced text editor) is much easier to use than nano when you need to do something more complex than type couple of lines.

You noobs. I just use combinations of cat piped to sed to edit my files, which are mainly lisp code.

Average vim user: vim is easy.

Also average vim user: literally hours of reading tutorial pages on how to use vim.

The Terminator is not here to kill you, its here to protect you from Emacs (which can change its form to anything).

I'll say that I find easier to exit vim that to exit nano.

I don't know what ^ means. I just start pressing special keys until it doesn't the thing

I started on Unix systems using Vim, so I find Nano to be the confusing editor. A Vim install is one of the first things I do on a new server.

The best text editor is ‘$EDITOR’.

In every post of this kind I am amazed at so many people using nano instead of micro which is SO MUCH BETTER while being the same thing at the same time.

That's like the picture of a normal dude with Nano, a large Vim dude, a larger buff Emacs dude and an ever larger massive Ed dude.
