MODERATORS
Seems like I struck a chord. I get this same response anytime vim comes up in a thread. Its almost as bad as the linux gatekeeping. Apparently I'm not allowed to have an opinion that differs from the group.
"It sucks because I can't see why it is even useful" is not an opinion, it is ignorance, and you have already shown it to be a willful one. No wonder you get shat on repeatedly
I've used vim, and I didn't like it. That is the definition of an opinion.
“I didn’t like it” is an opinion. “Vim is dumb because I can’t think of a reason people would like it, and everyone who uses it is an elitist asshole” is ignorance.
