Vim community is too strong

It's just another text editor that a handful of people use. Right up there with ne, Joe, nano and so on.

>handful of people

You realize it is the most used terminal editor, bar none, right?

>>60046759
>nano
nano is the most popular editor, asshole.
literally everyone uses it when they ssh to another machine, besides the vim autists.

Why would anyone use a terminal-based editor over a GUI-based editor?

>>60046279
Why? I mean if there's a way to create a minimal vim-like editor in the config that might be a decent alternative. Looks like probly not.

>>60046906
because GUIs aren't universal and if there's any features to learn you're going to have to learn them in two places rather than one.

Of course most editors have a perfectly good gui mode too.

me? -- only when I have to work with files remotely and I can't or don't want to SFTP

Just use mg

Why would I use a GUI editor over X11 forwarding or scp a file to my desktop/laptop/ edit it, and transfer it back, when I could use a terminal based editor? Plus I don't really see any advantages for a GUI based editor overediting text on the same machine.

What are you exactly complaining about? Do you notice a startup time difference? Does software bloat bother you while using a monolithic kernel?

>Plus I don't really see any advantages for a GUI based editor overediting text on the same machine.
A cursor.

Also, is it true that to this day there are people who develop in emacs? Like how do they integrate gdb, set up breakpoints, watches, organize project files, use code completion and syntax highlighting, search in multiple files and so on? Do they memorize a shortcut for everything?

Reread what I said, maybe you'll figure it out the second time.
>A cursor
I have a cursor in the terminal as well.

I get that more than 'a handful of people' use nano. But what planet are you living on where 'everyone uses it when they ssh to another machine'? The fucking thing doesn't even ship with RHEL/CentOS/EL. Let alone the other countless UNIX and UNIX-like solutions that are in production around the world like Synology DSM and Busybox systems.

If the entire world is contained in the Ubuntu forums and Debian mailing list, then sure. By all means.

Only pajeets use redhat Spyware and Debian ubuntu is standard for rest of the servers. Pajeet.

Badly programmed. It feels very slow and doesn't even have many features.
