Nano say so at bottom but so does vim if it thinks you're trying to exit.

I love how people fight over what's the better editor. I just use whatever makes sense for the time, and it's not always the same one. But if you're happy with just one of them and can make it work for you in any situation, then you do you. That's the point of Linux, or so I thought.

I mean, nano is cool I guess.

But just today my colleague asked what parameter add to a configuration file. He asked me should it be before or after this line? I told him before, he added it after. He had to select the line with the mouse, copy the text, go above, paste it, go back and delete the line character by character.

I mean, not too bad; but I was feeling very bad while seeing it happen.

I pressed 6 while holding shift, then x. But it just typed ^x in my file.

Maybe I need to swap black and white as I type them, but I don't know how to do that.

does anyone still use emacs? honest question.

[–] pheusie@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yup.

After reading a ton of discussions and inevitably trying out many interesting text editors (including niche ones like Leo and Sam), I just had to give it to Doom Emacs. Been very happy with it ever since.

I think it's pretty great

[–] rozodru@piefed.world 3 points 1 day ago

yes I use DOOM Emacs and will never use another editor. It's my IDE, my Email Client, my document writer, my File Manager, and my Terminal. don't need anything else.

I really dont care what editor you use, ive never used emacs, nano is disgusting and i really like vim but it could be the exact opposite for you and i wouldnt care.

Nano is trash.
