In the world of text editors, VIM, specifically NeoVim is the shining light. Standing at the pinnacle of creation at a height that can only be reached by zealous emacs users.
They have a learning curve through. Nano is obviously easier, but it’s also just a basic editor.
:x
As an Emacs user, Neovim was like chains. Shackles.
I ONLY EDIT TEXT BY TOGGLING OUT ASCII CODES ON A ROW OF SWITCHES DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO MY PARALLEL PORT\n
This guy did it back in the 80s:

I know your lying, because if you did, you would write a mix of capital and lower case letter, because one of the switches would control that bit
I COULD ONLY AFFORD SIX SWITCHES. BIT 5 HAS A PULLDOWN RESISTOR ON IT\n

I just moved from Nano to Helix and love it. I added nnn and Zellij as well it works wonderful.
Tried Doom Emacs but Helix had a smaller learning curve it felt.
I approve this message
For advanced text editing (and project management) though, I have to give a shout out to Obsidian MD (markdown) and whomever made the code plugin for it
Obsidian is proprietary FYI I know this is Linux memes and not FOSS memes but I think it’s still important to point out.
I wish I could just edit text files as sudo with the default gnome text editor instead.
Does ’sudo gedit’ not work?
Disclaimer: I use neither gnome nor gedit.
Does ’sudo gedit’ not work?
If my memory doesn’t fail me it used to. But gedit isnt the default text editor anymore. The new one is quite cool and clean.
It doesnt work with sudo though sadly. It’s not the biggest problem tho, just a small annoyance, using the occasional sudo nano to edit files isnt a big deal.
sudo XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 DISPLAY=:0 DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=/run/user/1000/bus XAUTHORITY=/home/caseyweederman/.Xauthority gedit
sudo XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 DISPLAY=:0 DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=/run/user/1000/bus XAUTHORITY=/home/caseyweederman/.Xauthority gedit
Reported for hacking.
I heard that it is safer to do sudoedit [file] instead of sudo [editor] [file]. At least it’s like this in vim. Idk about nano and Emacs tho
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it
:.,$d i use whatever works best for you, k?? esc :wq!
Why the
:.,?Replace the meme text. :)

sudo nano“Vim? Nah, no need”
Oh, vim. I wish I knew how to quit you.
: q !
unless you accidentally pressed “q” to early and entered recording-mode…
ZQ
Only if you don’t want to save the file
:x saved the file and exits.
Or :wq

or Shift + ZZ
He said quit, not save and exit
I only use Vim, but I appreciate nano as a choice and don’t even really mind visudo opening nano
Vim user here: Nano is a good text editor, takes a lot less training to pick up and use, and it’s surprisingly capable. If I’m teaching someone how to use the Linux terminal, I’m going to teach them Nano, because they already have enough to learn. Vim is a separate class all its own.
I appreciate nano as a choice. Sure. But if visudo opens in nano and suddenly I have a bunch of “yoi:wq” in my sudoers I’ll be upset.
When visudo opens nano, I get unreasonably angry about it. I typed “visudo”, not “nanosudo”
I prefer micro over nano. It’s like a middle term
What about Micro users 🥲
vim and emacs are ide like text editors.
We need to :q! this war for good.
Those who don’t write history to drive are destined to repeat it.
