I would only use 5% of vims power. I don't need multi-line editing, editing 10000 files at once, macros and so on. Basically it's a overkill. And I don't like insert mode.

you don't understand vim or its appeal

Fair, but restricting yourself to only a keyboard and fucking arrows is pajeet level for me.
do you work from a 2003 shitbox?
is portability the main factor?

Vim is unusable as an ide. Gotta install tons of plug-ins and tweaks.

bash is the ide, vim is the editor

TEXT

OBJECTS

Such a shockingly simple concept but vi is the only thing that handles them so cleanly and quickly.

> implying VSCode is usable at all without the 10000 plugins necessary to even execute it
Do you use notepad user?

You can use you're mouse in vim.
:set mouse=a and you can drag2resize your help windows and splits etc.

xcode.

vim is better at navigating text
for ideal setup with low effort, use a vim plugin for VSCode/eclipse/whatever for all the positives of an IDE and vim in one

Yeah, but does anybody ever bother? It feels like keyboard is just faster. I have it turned on and I use it rarely and that only when I'm switching from using mouse in some other program to vim.

cat

Yeah, this. Intellij with vim is top tier.

>he uses a text editor with a pseudo GUI made of ANSI escape codes interpreted by a terminal application which uses unicode characters to display this pseudeo GUI on a strict character grid layout where everything has the same size and is limited in its flexibility and usefulness
it's okay for editing config files on a remote machine via ssh, though (although you could do the same by mounting the remote file system via sshfs and open the files locally in a real text editor)

>pajeet needs an ide to help him understand his program

Exatcly my point in this thread.

>all the positives of an IDE
I'm autistic and disable all the IDE cruft anyway. Seeing an autocomplete window pop up triggers me.

Set it so autocomplete only pops up when you hit control+space.

> Implying the only reason people use IDE is cause they cant program
> autocomplete,automatic interface signature functions,etc
I guess you never programmed anything more complex than a console calculator faggot

those things are just for people who are either lazy or don't understand the project they're working with

I work with commercial software that has several thousand classes and methods. I don't know what kind of baby projects you're working on but auto completion is useful.

It just works and is easy to configure. It uses incredibly less resources when compared to editors like you mentioned in the OP. I just did a clean install of my dev machine and vim took like 20 seconds to have it reconfigured the way I like. Also can use it from the virtual console and don't need x running or installed.

Yeah, better waste my work time reading John Papa's blog about the new hot ui web framework which changes every month. And then porting applications every month to a new framework.

Are you still working on a commodore?

"Unused RAM" is RAM that will be taken up by the bloated code of Pajeets and nu-coders, making it "necessary RAM".

I do a lot of my programming on a T60 but the >unused ram is wasted ram meme is not an excuse for using a shitty bloated text editor

>electron
what's so wrong about it? do you hate everything made with it or this one specific piece of software because you consider its use unjustified? if so, how?
help me understand your point of view properly, I don't want to just call you a faggot and/or reply with some random reaction pic

So you use vim without plugins? If you install any plugin you are already bloating it up.

yeah every electron """app""" is garbage
it's really poorly optimized, isn't native, and the only positive is that it makes things easier for braindead javascript bootcamp graduates to write """apps"""
I don't use any plugins and my vimrc is

>I dont understand how the stack works

lurk moar faggot
each electron app spawns its own an instance of chrome since electron runs on it. you're basically rendering your desktop app as a web app. it provides 'greater' portability but uses a whole lot ram. in other words it's bloat.

So you have been forced by the BIG INDIAN SOFTWARE into vim?

Manually typing everything is for pretentious faggots.
Also denying that IDEs bring utility to development is usually what back-end/scripters say.
I think you should get out of your hole and try coding software with multiple layers.

it's lightweight and has a simple and portable interface. your text editor works perfectly over ssh and in any terminal emulator.
also when you get good with it you can navigate files quickly and perform repetitive operations with less keystrokes and no mouse usage.

Vim is nice when you're accessing a machine remotely via ssh and you need to edit/write text files.
But other than cli text editing, yes, there's no point imo.

You're looking at it the wrong way, the sme tasks can be done (probably quicker) using normal software but vim is like linux. Its been latched onto by people missing normal experiences from their lives as a way to cope by thinking they are special and skilled. Its a substitute for things missing from their lives.

what kind of code do you write that you need as much memory as possible at all times?
for me, vscode runs blazing fast despite its iffy internals or being so memory hungry, shouldn't that be enough

>keyboard doesn't have arrow keys
Tell me more.

>Emacs

I wonder if ram manufacturers collaborate with popular application framework developers to bloat memory usage.

vim and emacs are for hipsters who act like they use terminals 90% of the day when in reality they spend all thei day editing their .vimrc instead of actually typing stuff down
the obtuse and shitty keyboard shortcuts doesn't help it either, what an editor should do is type, paste, exit, select, and quit, nothing more aside from indentation and syntax highlighting
vscode does it perfectly BUT MUH MICROSOFT

>all of my system resources
this is an over-exaggeration and you know it

In that case ram would still cost the same it did 30 years ago. It gets cheaper and cheaper every year while getting faster.

my vimrc is one line desu
on my thinkpad it comes close
