Fly in fly trap:

:q!

The best thing about Vim is that despite having all the features of a modern IDE it starts in 0.1s and you can start editing right away while the code data is loading asynchronously.

The worst thing about Vim is that... just kidding, there's nothing bad about it.

I remapped the power button of my computer to whatever that series of keypresses is that exits vim.

Emacs with evil mode

Do you mean Neovim?

Surely you aren't comparing a flat text editor to an IDE that has language server support, debuggers and refactoring tools?

I like VSCodium, a vscode build without ms telemetry and such

HAHAHAHA I know the secret passcode to escape!

Incidentally, it's ctrl+]. But I remap it to 'kj', and somehow have never typed 'blackjack' in all my years of using Vim!

Wouldn't the one that ops you into telemetry be the trap?

I used to know a developer who wrote all his code in Notepad. This was around 2005 or 6. We had just starting to replace our legacy ASP code with ASP.Net, which he was determined to do in Notepad. I was gone before I could see how that worked out.

Good luck exiting that!

The trap is that you should use vi. Don't wuss out.

vim was such an unimaginable improvement over nano for doing stuff on linux servers. Having an in-shell-editor search-and-replace function alone is worth everything you have to do to learn vim.

And after I was comfortable around vim because of all the "training" on servers, I just switched to vim fulltime. No more GUI editor for me!

helix btw

You will be tempted to think that by learning how to use (neo)VIM your coding skills will magically improve tenfold.

It won't

vscodium slightly better than vscode tho.

honestly all ide's are rubbish - especially electron ones. for a gui editor, i've just gone back to sublime text and have never been happier.

Why not both?

Helix tho

& then there's emacs

Though I use neovim as a text editor, Zed is my IDE of choice. I think it’s a good alternative for most people that don’t like Electron-based applications.
