Yes but have you tried quitting vim's "easy mode"?

JoMomma@lemm.ee · 20 pts · 2y

:q! Before you save any other nonsense

I see you haven't used ed.

Yeah, I don't get why the meme is about vim instead of ed. https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.html

I think escaping ed is easier than vi, although using it is completely different.

I've been using Linux as a desktop for over a decade and have never heard of ed before. I'm assuming that its general lack of popularity is why no one talks about it

ed is much older than Linux. I'm surprised you haven't at least heard of it. I found about about it though the old AT&T Unix tapes
