I know this makes me a jerk but whenever I see a tech tutorial video and they use nano as an editor I judge REAL hard
@dconley hahaha I'm definitely a nano over vim kinda person. because honestly who uses a cli editor for real work? it's just to hand bomb in changes on a remote server.
atom all the waayyyyyyyyyyyy 😁
@nergdron I install gvim on Windows, fight me
(but I do understand that I've put literal years into getting good with it and have a 150 line vimrc with 15+ plugins, but. BUT.)
@dconley hahah yeah. that's really the only explanation i've ever gotten out of hardcore vim supporters, is just that they've been using it a long time.
i'm a fickle bitch. as soon as there's a new tool that's more productive for me, i switch. 😉
@dconley yeah, that's fair. I'm getting to be that way with atom now tbh, it's been my main editor for a couple years now and I'm unhappy in anything else. seems to have a good solid community keeping things updated, so as long as that's the case I'll probably stick with it.
@nergdron For me it isn't inertia, it's that I'm now significantly faster with vim than any other editor. vim + tmux is my preferred editing environment.
But it was probably six months of "I want to be cool so I'm going to struggle through vim", and then 2-3 years of it being no better than Notepad++, before it really clicked.
