In case you need fake data

Honest question,

If vim is annoying why you guys still use it?
Even nano is lighter...

@gajahterbang it's not annoying to everyone.. personally I'd scream at it to exit though... 😂😂😂

@gajahterbang I kinda hate vi (ZZ and ZQ don't work there). Love vim to make quick changes to a file. Sometimes use it as less with syntax colouring (and goto line now places a cursor).

While nano is lighter in practice they load to damn fast to notice. Nano has no undo and some things like "replace to ....", regex search/replace and block select to comment a section make vim way more convenient for me.

Still can't use it as an IDE though. The mode switching drives me nuts. Rather have me Emacs for that but mostly use jetbrains stuff.

I love Vim, it’s so powerful !

@gajahterbang vi lets you do more than nano, if you know how, or have the patience to deal with its complete unintuitiveness, and dedicate a large portion of time, and a ton of axons in your non-infinite brain.

It's useful in some cases. Nano is just too limited for editing larger files or making bulk operations.

But if you adhere to a proper rule book that helps you to not fuck up, you will never really need it. I mean rules like don't manually modify server environments, and everything on servers should be from some form of version control. I like what a devops/architect guy told me once: If you need to manually SSH to a server, you're doing it wrong.
