    I don’t know why there’s so much hate for Vim. It’s simple- just use it as your default text editor since you first started using computers, and keep using it forever, and problem solved!

      Setup for the overused joke - I’ve been using vim since I first started using a computer, I just can’t quit.

      Why VIM decided to make itself run just like VI (by default) is beyond me. Isn’t the long name “VI Improved”?

        Vims defaults are quite crap overall. It is why everyone needs 100s of lines of configs and many plugins to turn it into something decent. Well worth the setup but it could go a long way to making things nicer to use out the box.
