VI is the embodiment of everything that's wrong with Linux

>>57260168
I like vi desu

Then what is a good text editor?

>>57260299
nano

>>57260299
good and simple? nano
amazing yet simple? emacs

>>57260299
ed

>>57260354
>emacs
>simple

>>57260334
>>57260354
So nano is better than vim?

>>57260373

>>57260354
>emacs
>amazing
>simple

>>57260362

This desu

I've had to fix a broken windows registry key by key before with chntpw and ed because it was so fucked that windows was inoperable after booting

% du -h /usr/bin/nano
212K    /usr/bin/nano
% du -h /bin/ed 
48K    /bin/ed
% du -h /usr/bin/nvi
44K    /usr/bin/nvi

anything but vi is bloated

>>57260168
Stupid neckbeard and his braindamage.

>>57260168
>vim is too hard for me, so it sucks in general
I guess you're also too retarded to do basic programming so you became a webdev?

>>57260168

Don't like it? Don't use it.

Most distributions pack tens if not hundreds of editors. Surely there's one that's not too uncomfortable for you to use?

Personally, I prefer vim.

>>57260564
Dat strawman. Guess you fucks can't even argue properly.

>>57260299
Notepad.exe

>>57260457
nvi has evolved to be pretty different from vi desu

>>57260610
So you are just answering this...

>>57260168
Vi like editor are made to be the fastest
And they are good at it the end
Several tests prouve it

>>57260457
complaining about bloat at those sizes is just pedantic.

I use vi because it's on everything. It doesn't matter who's machine I have to fix, I know vi is there.

>>57260334
>>57260354
but ee is better than nano

>>57260637
yeah it's fatter than the original vi

>>57260299
Microsoft Office Word 2017

>>57260299
vi

>>57260168
it is the best text editor there is

>>57260299
micro
>>57260354
kys

>>57260299
vim

>>57260168
Isn't it funny that it's such shit, but still manages to be the best text editor around?

No. It's not funny. It's depressing.

>>57260168
Vim is the perfect text editor for people who like it. For people who don't like it, there's Nano or Sublime or Atom or Emacs or literally dozens of other editors. Vim is everything right with the Linux world, it's a specialized tool, that works very well for some people, and for people who don't like it, there are dozens of alternatives.

Linus programs in fucking mg, there's no single magical perfect text editor, there's just whichever one you like the best.
