White House weighing in on the big issues

Sources say the decision was made by how long interns spent in each editor. In fact, it appears the vim users simply never exited once they opened the program, presumably because they found it so productive.

We need to set aside our petty differences and fight the true enemy: bloated IDEs.
- ed is the standard editor.
  
  Bah, a magnetised needle and a steady hand is the one true way to edit code on your prod system.
- You shouldn't let your Visual ideas be Eclipsed, by something Sublime...
  
  Such an IntelliJent comment.
- return to your roots: use notepad
- Emacs was the first bloated IDE!
And between the two of them, a thin line of evil-mode users who claim allegiance to both sides.
- And are accepted by neither!
- A thin line? Is there an Emacs distro that doesn't default to evil?
Waiting for an executive order on vim vs neovim.
This is what kicks off the second Civil War in the United States. And just the like first time, those treasonous Emacs Confederates will be decisively defeated.
- Begone, spawn of evil!
  Allow the light of Church of Emacs into your heart!
You just need to watch one video to learn neovim.
Finally, a president I can get behind.
White House are not Emacs guys!? That's not surprising. They believe in 'you can't change the program, but the program changes you'.
Vim is like the Hotel California.
- On (classic) rock stations so much when I was a kid that it makes me want to stab myself in the ears?
  
  Full of prostitutes and heroin addicts?
@andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun I know exactly one vi command. :q!
I think the guideline should be: future software should be written on a whim
Obligatory: how to exit vim
vim > emacs, though.
nano >>>>>>> everything else
As a vim user, seems emacs is the more difficult one to quit.
- I tell myself I can quit vim, but somehow I keep going back to it...
  Emacs just starts too slowly. Helps to break the dopamine cycle.
He's got my vote
Agreed
Front end dev here. SublimeText all day eryday.
- I just switched from Sublime Text to VSCode, so far so good
