"vim is all you need because it works anywhere and it's fast"

vim is bloated. Use elvis.

i dont get it

vim isn't available everywhere. Use ed.

Lurk moar

>Use ed.
Most GNU/Linux distros don't come with ed anymore

Nano master race.

I see what you did there...

For you.

>Pic unrelated
Wouldn't be so sure.

How about anisble? It is the same with .bashrc emacs etc.

Barely a step above using notepad

Literally just use tramp mode in Emacs if you're editing shit on servers all day.

Just install tilde and enjoy standard keybindings on terminal.

How about guix? I can just export a contianer tarball with all I need.

So hard

Honestly, you might as well use a graphical text editor if you use nano. Cutting and pasting is simpler plus you have the added benefit of more standard keybindings. Not that nano's shit, it just seems superfluous in the age of X servers. If you have a system where X isn't installed, then I guess nano would make sense.

feelsgood

got gastric bypass and has lost a heap of weight. Still fat though.

In awe at the size of this lad, absolute unit.

>scp my_home_server:~/vimrc.tar.gz ~ && tar xzf vimrc.tar.gz
done

i use nano to update code on my servers

baneposters pls go

But what about all my sick plugins + vundle?

amazing

Boogie is half that size now, the fat fuck got his shit together.

When I log into my Xenix system with my 110 baud teletype, both vi and Emacs are just too damn slow. They print useless messages like, ‘C-h for help’ and ‘“foo” File is read only’. So I use the editor that doesn't waste my VALUABLE time.

Ed, man! !man ed

ED(1) Unix Programmer's Manual ED(1)

NAME
ed - text editor

SYNOPSIS
ed [ - ] [ -x ] [ name ]
DESCRIPTION
Ed is the standard text editor.

---

And ed doesn't waste space on my Timex Sinclair. Just look:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 24 Oct 29 1929 /bin/ed
-rwxr-xr-t 4 root 1310720 Jan 1 1970 /usr/ucb/vi
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 5.89824e37 Oct 22 1990 /usr/bin/emacs

Of course, on the system I administrate, vi is symlinked to ed. Emacs has been replaced by a shell script which 1) Generates a syslog message at level LOG_EMERG; 2) reduces the user's disk quota by 100K; and 3) RUNS ED!!!!!!

“Ed is the standard text editor.”

Let's look at a typical novice's session with the mighty ed:

golem$ ed

?
help
?
?
?
quit
?
exit
?
bye
?
hello?
?
eat flaming death
?
^C
?
^C
?
^D
?

Note the consistent user interface and error reportage. Ed is generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm the novice with verbosity.

“Ed is the standard text editor.”

Ed, the greatest WYGIWYG editor of all.

When I use an editor, I don't want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless help screens and cursor positioning code! I just want an EDitor!! Not a “viitor”. Not a “emacsitor”.

When IBM, in its ever-present omnipotence, needed to base their “edlin” on a Unix standard, did they mimic vi? No. Emacs? Surely you jest.

Ed is for those who can remember what they are working on. If you are an idiot, you should use Emacs. If you are an Emacs, you should not be vi. If you use ED, you are on THE PATH TO REDEMPTION. THE SO-CALLED “VISUAL” EDITORS HAVE BEEN PLACED HERE BY ED TO TEMPT THE FAITHLESS. DO NOT GIVE IN!!! THE MIGHTY ED HAS SPOKEN!!!
