    Anytime I open Vim I ask the same question.

    “how the fuck do I use you?”

    then go back to nano

    repeat.

        Have you tried GUI text editors? They’re like the CLI ones, just from this millennium. We’re no longer etching runes into rocks any more either.

            Hopefully tongue-in-cheek.

            No.

            Because sure. Microsoft Word is the best IDE.

            Learn the difference between a word processor and a text editor.

              Guess you’re not up on your memes. Frightfully sorry for responding to what I assumed was a meme answer with a meme answer.

              That’s “graphical oowey”, right? /s

              I generally just say the letters; the amount of shit I get for saying gee en you…is not actually that much because I usually don’t interact with coding nerds via voice, only text, but if I did they would be livid

              Edit: For some reason I try to pronounce Xfce as a word instead of an initialism though, ‘ecks-fiss’. Maybe I’m just broken.

        Accurate. The keyboard shortcuts just make sense and it’s full of features from this millennia. Like control click for multi cursor, automatic syntax highlighting, and automatic lint indicators.
