				 stisch45359yI'm so torn... I use Sublime Text occasionally, and it's great, but... $70? I use Neovim way more, I'd prefer paying them. stisch45359yI'm so torn... I use Sublime Text occasionally, and it's great, but... $70? I use Neovim way more, I'd prefer paying them.
 
 Either way I'm proud of you, you're a better person than me.

				Good thing. A developer that actually buys software. It's mind boggling how many people see it as something strange, even if they write software for a living themselves.

				It's good to use free software. It just ends up making your software cost less because you don't have to keep up with your payments.

				 leny4529y@thureos seems you never really used vim and/or neovim : all you list can be done. And many others. leny4529y@thureos seems you never really used vim and/or neovim : all you list can be done. And many others.

				 stisch45359y@thureos yeah, all great features and probably worth paying for stisch45359y@thureos yeah, all great features and probably worth paying for
 
 and blah blah vim does that rant rave... but I won't get into my usual vim elitist speech... ST is fantastic for sure.
 
 I'm just being poor. Really I should pay them BOTH a small fortune for amazing tools

				 leny4529y@thureos for me, it's the "modal" way of use that I like. After some learning, manipulating text with vim is really fast. And also challenging, I like the way I can learn about it weeks after weeks, slowly improving my way of work. leny4529y@thureos for me, it's the "modal" way of use that I like.

 The "non-graphical" way is not really a problem for me : I spend most of my time in command-line.

				 wicho25189y@leny I understand, but since I continuing switch from ST to Firefox I just cant, maybe you are a Backend Developer which is fine... wicho25189y@leny I understand, but since I continuing switch from ST to Firefox I just cant, maybe you are a Backend Developer which is fine...

 btw depending on what you took the picture with and what format it is, there is a chance there is an unmodified thumbnail embedded in the picture. Be careful.

 I don't understand you concern here : I don't see a difference on "switching from Firefox to sublime" and "switching from Firefox to vim". Same keystroke ;)

				 leny4529y@thureos it's the fundamentals of vim, based on modes and commands. I'm not comfortable in English to be able to teach that in comprehensive way, but I can redirect you to a video I recommend to each ones who want to discover and try vim : https://youtu.be/_NUO4JEtkDw leny4529y@thureos it's the fundamentals of vim, based on modes and commands.

 It's a great talk, inspiring and clear.

				 ajmada2289yWhile I think basic usage of text mode editor is important to any developer, I am glad to have extended my JetBrain solutions licence for another 2 years. ajmada2289yWhile I think basic usage of text mode editor is important to any developer, I am glad to have extended my JetBrain solutions licence for another 2 years.

				Well done for paying for what you use, it has long since baffled me why people are so weirded out by software that isn't free while writing commercial software themselves.

				Kudos! I've been using it for years. By far my favourite editor. One of these days I'll actually pay for it.. Probably. Hopefully.
