If Vim is so good, then why can’t you browse Lemmy from it?
This meme was made by the Emacs gang.
Because unlike emacs gang, we don’t need to build an OS to browse Lemmy.
How bout you go back and let your friends know that if they’re in need of a good editor, try Vim ;)

If my friends wanted a good editor, then I wouldn’t recommend a Vimitor, I’d recommend ed, the standard text EDitor :p
Haha, y’all are welcome to try that ;)
Vim needs are met by using Evil-Mode. You don’t have to leave Emacs for this.
As a poke at Emacs’ creeping featurism, vi advocates have been known to describe Emacs as “a great operating system, lacking only a decent editor”.

I don’t mind Vim, it reminds me of my years using EDT on Vax/VMS systems in the 80s and 90s. My fingers knew all the function keys so well, the UI was almost invisible. But more recent years of using Windows because of work have ingrained VS and VSCode the same way, and I like the feel of the mouse.
I feel like I need to learn VIM at some point because various system tools have a habit of using it. (rpmrebuild and the man pages come to mind) It just comes up here and there even if you don’t care for it.
The amount of time my classmates have spent dealing with vscode crashing, freezing, breaking, etc is way beyond negligible. And yet, I’m the weird guy apparently for preferring vim and GCC.
I just really can’t stand lua
I use vim btw
I use neovim btw
I use vim, aliased to vi, on Arch btw.
codium > code
Hadn’t heard of this, but I’m going to switch now!
Ooooh thank you for reminding me I need to make this switch
To you, @toothpaste_ostrich@feddit.nl, and anyone else planning to do the switch:
Back when I was still a VSC(odium) user, you needed to perform a small tweak to regain access to the quite useful extensions marketplace (in the sense of, paste the extension ID, see the same results as a M$ VSCode user*): There is a file named
product.jsonwhich allows you to “regain” access if you populate it with the following values:{ "extensionsGallery": { "serviceUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery", "itemUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items", "cacheUrl": "https://vscode.blob.core.windows.net/gallery/index", "controlUrl": "" } }(Taken from my old dotfiles, so this may be outdated, not sure. Also, you’ll have to look up the location of this file, it will differ depending on OS. On macOS it goes in
~/Library/Application Support/VSCodium.)*If you do not need this 1:1 identical functionality, you may try the Open VSX marketplace. But especially in a class setting, I found this very useful, since all the tutorials/instructions will work without needing adaptation.
Good to know, thanks for passing this on!
The full name is VScodium. https://vscodium.com/
Codium is a genus of edible green macroalgae.
That sounds tasty, where do I buy it?
South Korea is the leading consumer and producer of farmed Codium (commonly known as cheonggak)
Search for that.
(In homer Simpsons voice) Mmmmmm. Macroalgae.
helix gang anyone?
:3
epic editor :3
👋 present!
Helix is much faster than neovim, but annoyingly it feels so limited. Can’t change anything about it.
But it’s supposed to get plugins at some point.
I like VScodium and VIM although I have also been using Kate and nano as of late.
The comparison is bad. It’s more like comparing a kind of crappy car to a nice unicycle once you factor in UX. Not everyone likes to punch in key combinations so complicated it’s making game cheats look simple in comparison.
That can’t be right, the red car has a service manual and too many functioning assemblies for it to be VS.
I plan on moving to a nice Neovim setup eventually, but VSCodium is so convenient out of the box for a baby developer like me.
You’ll be glad to know that the difficulty comes from the syntax and very little from any programming skill level. You learn new ways of writing certain code structures like indented curly braces for example. Programming python might be easier than cpp in vim, not due to the language, but just cpp having more complex syntax to type.
Tldr, almost exactly the same amount of effort whether you’ve been coding for two weeks or two years.
