At first, I was mad. Then the slow, sad realization that you’re more right than not…
Hey I’m married and use Vim. I feel attacked 😅

I was just playing BOTW looking for a mask does that count?
Subject doesn’t understand social cues
Great to see this type of humor poping out.
vi is more impressive when you’ve used ed for a few years. Nowadays, eh.
Realising that your partner doesn’t care about you after 10+ years can indeed be hard.
Can confirm, am getting divorced after 12 years
“Muuhuum, vim is wrecking havoc on relationships again!”
immediate divorce /s
Would’ve loved to see which community they posted to. RelationshipAdvice?
ive heard women are into emacs these days
We are, but, like… Just preferring something else doesn’t make vim unimpressive. Silver medal’s still pretty fucking prestigious, you know?
It’s not like ed had any chance of being anything other than last, anyway
Maybe your wife is either VSCode or Atom gang
“nothing fancy” that’s the issue, just some jumping won’t impress her; you gotta do the real crazy shit. Friggin “wife not impressed by my cooking? I make a hard boiled egg and she isn’t impressed”
jumping won’t impress her
Unless it’s jump humping.
He should have installed neovim with LSPs for Python/Rust/etc for intellisense and linting to really get her all hot and bothered.
Switch to emacs
:q!

As someone who’s been a software developer for over a decade and in IT even longer, I still don’t use vi/vim for anything other than when crontabs have it set as the editor.
Honestly if you don’t use vim motions in your ide of choice, you’re missing out big time. Being able to do things like “Delete everything inside these parentheses”.
di(or “wrap this line and the two lines below r in a pair of {}”ys2j{, or “swap this parameter with the next one”cxia]a.with a single shortcut is game changing.Even just being able to repeat an action a number of times is ridiculously useful. I use relative line numbers, so I can see how many lines away a target is and just go “I need to move down 17 lines” and hit
17j.Absolutely insane how much quicker it is too do stuff with vim motions than ctrl-shift-arrows and the like
Only if you use a qwerty keyboard, otherwise it’s just annoying as shit
That’s really neat, but I don’t think I do that often enough to really make the performance hit of learning a whole new thing and memorizing keyboard shortcuts and commands worth it. I don’t find myself refactoring code a ton, especially after moving to a more TDD-like model.
It’s less about refactoring and more about navigation of your code while editing. Ever wanted to delete a single word?
dawdeletes the word your cursor is currently in. How about "copy everything up to (but not including) the nearest “D” on the current line?yfD.The whole point is that editing code in the middle of writing it, not just refactoring it, is immensely faster.

Those tasks are a very small part of work time, so most people don’t feel the need to optimize it.
As a software dev, they’re significant parts of what I do
Are you one of those rare developers who spend most of their day actually coding?
Yes, absolutely. And I refuse to let my day be anything else! :-)
alias vi=nano
You can set your default editor (maybe in .bashrc or .bash_profile? I forget), but I’m far too lazy.
export EDITOR=nano.But (neo)vim is amazing so there is no need to do that.
Based nano user
From my .zshrc (typing this on mobile so cope if it’s wrong)
case "$OSTYPE" in linux*) export EDITOR=nano ;; freebsd*) export EDITOR=ee ;;deleted by creator
That would be too smart. Smells like kotlin’s when
Put backticks around the entire case statement, and you can.
I transfer all my files over to a Windows machine and edit them in Notepad
Hey at least you showed her your vim and not your nano or micro
