Vi or die!
Sorry for living under a rock, but what is vim?
unrepentant nano gang rise up
At least it's better than
ed.?

The first time I used VI I typed a few characters, then hit backspace to delete some characters. Backspace doesn't delete characters. I closed VI and never opened it again.
But how did you close it?
And you weren't curious about how it worked? Not at all?
A million better alternatives exist. I was curious about them.
Yeah yeah, brag about being able to close VI the first time of use...
VIM only has two modes:
Constantly beeping
Destroying everything.
I'm always vimming!
Not because I want to though. It's because I don't know how to stop...
That's, like, halfway down the list of things to try!
Can't stop won't stop
We're you referencing this by chance?
well, I am using vim, but I don't know how to use vim.
Am I vimming?
Yes, you vom.
They vom it.
Emacs users be like
🪢 :q!
Progress lost
I kakoune instead.
How do you like it? I tried it a few years ago, but my vim muscular memory made it feel as uncomfortable as learning vim for the first time.
I'm very happy. I had the same early experience as you, but I kept with it. I've been using it several years now. When I'm forced back to vim, my fingers remember just enough, but I have to undo pretty often.
