Sources say the decision was made by how long interns spent in each editor. In fact, it appears the vim users simply never exited once they opened the program, presumably because they found it so productive.

We need to set aside our petty differences and fight the true enemy: bloated IDEs.

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 29 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

ed is the standard editor.

[-] notabot@lemm.ee 31 points 10 months ago

Bah, a magnetised needle and a steady hand is the one true way to edit code on your prod system.

[-] ThePinkUnicorn@lemdro.id 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Excuse me, but real programmers use butterflies.

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 8 points 9 months ago

Hah, still relying on butterflies? Real programmers simply use the starting conditions of the universe to understand where their program will spontaneously compile

[-] nephs@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 10 months ago

I used to have my local environment synced to prod. Saving meant deployed.

Everything was feature flagged by default, we never broke production in years. That was early 2010s.

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 0 points 10 months ago

That’s non standard though.

[-] BananaOnionJuice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 10 months ago

You shouldn't let your Visual ideas be Eclipsed, by something Sublime...

[-] abbadon420@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

Such an IntelliJent comment.

[-] funnystuff97@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

return to your roots: use notepad

[-] iknowitwheniseeit@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 9 months ago

Emacs was the first bloated IDE!

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago

And between the two of them, a thin line of evil-mode users who claim allegiance to both sides.

[-] something_random_tho@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

And are accepted by neither!

[-] Shareni@programming.dev 2 points 9 months ago

A thin line? Is there an Emacs distro that doesn't default to evil?

[-] nieceandtows@programming.dev 13 points 10 months ago

Waiting for an executive order on vim vs neovim.

[-] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

This is what kicks off the second Civil War in the United States. And just the like first time, those treasonous Emacs Confederates will be decisively defeated.

[-] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 17 points 10 months ago

Begone, spawn of evil!

Allow the light of Church of Emacs into your heart!

Finally, a president I can get behind.

[-] LemonLord@endlesstalk.org 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

White House are not Emacs guys!? That's not surprising. They believe in 'you can't change the program, but the program changes you'.

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Vim is like the Hotel California.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

On (classic) rock stations so much when I was a kid that it makes me want to stab myself in the ears?

[-] Shareni@programming.dev 2 points 9 months ago

Full of prostitutes and heroin addicts?

[-] abucci@buc.ci 7 points 10 months ago

@andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun I know exactly one vi command. :q!

[-] Kissaki@programming.dev 6 points 9 months ago

I think the guideline should be: future software should be written on a whim

[-] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

Obligatory: how to exit vim

vim > emacs, though.

[-] Sorse@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 7 months ago

nano >>>>>>> everything else

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

As a vim user, seems emacs is the more difficult one to quit.

[-] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 0 points 9 months ago

I tell myself I can quit vim, but somehow I keep going back to it...

Emacs just starts too slowly. Helps to break the dopamine cycle.

He's got my vote

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world -4 points 10 months ago

Front end dev here. SublimeText all day eryday.

[-] criitz@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago

I just switched from Sublime Text to VSCode, so far so good
