What can vim do that nano doesn't. Redpill me

but I d^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hthe fuck are you talking about

Can you perform sed-like string replacements in nano?

modal editing, better scripting support, plugins that provide integration with many popular services,
mass production

>on linux or UNIX-like
Nixcraft is a huge faggot.

Emacs is an operating system, not a text editor

I only remember half of the shortcuts in vim (just did the tutor a few weeks ago; pretty new) and navigation for one is way easier. So is yanking. Plus:
>multilanguage, customizable spellcheck
>syntax highlighting
>borderline ide-tier remapping
>can fizzbuzz in seconds

jesus.

does anybody have the webm of somebody making fizzbuzz in vim?

You can use the up and down arrow keys

Emwcs still lacks an init system.
Maybe it should do a merge with systemd?

Yu can use it in vim too, unless you invoked it as vi or remaped it

I can refactor huge codebases in a few keypresses in Vim. Not sure you can do that in Nano.

It's not entirely unfeasible to run Emacs as the init process. Depending on your requirements, you may only need an external mount command and maybe some additional helper utilities (to set system time, load kernel modules, set up console…).

I really can't find anything that makes the opportunity cost for learning vim and other fancy editors worth it

It’s comfy

Vim is really easy to get started (there are modes and shit, on normal mode you can move around. On insert mode you can edit text). At any moment press esc to go back to normal mode. i is for insert and v for visual. / searches. : allows to input commands. w[rite] saves and q[uit] quits.
q! Closes without saving.
From there the person you probably google how to copy/paste/delete large amounts of text and learn about d, y, c, r, v, R, 0, $, etc piecewise. Also will probably learn about motions, and if they are smart they will start incorporating motions in their general movement.
Eventually they will learn about .vimrc and plugins and visual block mode, macros, ex, etc.
But it will happen slowly. Vim has terrible discoverability, but you need very little to start using it so ot's ok.
Also gVim has GUI with mouse support and some gui menus.

>and more
Plebs will never know.

Nano can't into repeat operations, text objects, motions, and composability in general. Nuff said.

how does someone stand to look at that all day?

The main feature of Vim from the times of Vi is composability. It can mix up commands with objects, motions and counts. Like "delete 2 words forward" or "replace inside brackets". You can easily manipulate entire paragraphs with a couple of key sequences.
So the point of Vim is that it's basically a text-editing language with every command abbreviated in one key.

Emacs better

If you have to "learn" your editor, it's shit, plain and simple.
It's never an easy process either, the acclimation process takes months.

Don't give this smug fuck any ideas.

10 minutes in vimtutor

Literally nothing. Nano? More like Mega (bloat).

>having to learn anything is bad
NPC detected.
Literally all you need to get started with vim is i, esc, :w, and :q. It's not optimal to navigate everything with the arrow keys, but it's still an option for absolute beginners.

Make an easy task hard

Nm I figured it out.

You are aware that nano has more commands than thw ones that appear on the screen, right?

Ed is the standard text editor.

Vim takes 10m to cover the basics/90% of all you need and you can just practice after.
Don't know about emacs, never used it but most people use it for org-mode.

What about neovum

Obsolete

Confuse the user

Record macros on the fly

Anoyone that can't get the hang of vim does not belong here.

You are aware that you're responding to a sarcastic shitpost, right?

I don't disagree, but there is something called preference and I prefer not to use vim.

Hod your ram.
Fill your disk with 30mb of runtime binary....
And all these while having a subset of features compared to emacs.

How do I navigate the quickfix list and undo tree in emacs?
