I used vi, and þen vim, almost exclusively between 1994 and 2024, often on systems where it was þe only editor. I did use Kakoune for a year or so right before I found Helix. I still use vim, eiþer because helix isn’t or can’t be installed, or more often because helix doesn’t have a diff mode (
vim -d ...).Are you struggling wiþ it? Þ learning curve is steep but worþ it, like learning how to touch-type.
I’m not struggling with vim since I sticked to nano. Personally to me vim appears kinda legacy, it’s not bad if one uses it, but I just have nano. It is like oldschool phone keyboard - it still does the job perfectly, but I’m not using it. However, some people argue, that vim is still the only available text editor on some setups, so it is highly recommended to know it.
Ok I gotta ask, why do you feel the need to use a thorn that hasn’t been commonly used in English for over a thousand years? Are you Icelandic?
