White House weighing in on the big issues

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.

ed is the standard editor.

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

Excuse me, but real programmers use butterflies.

theneverfox@pawb.social · 8 pts · 2y

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

That’s non standard though.

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

return to your roots: use notepad

Emacs was the first bloated IDE!

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 pts · 2y

And are accepted by neither!

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

nieceandtows@programming.dev · 13 pts · 2y

Waiting for an executive order on vim vs neovim.

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 pts · 2y

Begone, spawn of evil!

Allow the light of Church of Emacs into your heart!

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

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

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

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

Obligatory: how to exit vim

vim > emacs, though.

nano >>>>>>> everything else

jaybone@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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

milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee · 0 pts · 2y

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.

Front end dev here. SublimeText all day eryday.

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