I'm tired of those post and memes about wasting four days finding a missing semicolon (;).
Where do those guys program? Notepad?
Come on! Use the existing tools!

Notepad++ and command line thank you very much! 😋

Vim FTW

I'd also like to say a big wtf to all the people who think they are in some way superior because they don't use an IDE, they use notepad or command line. You guys are amazing and I wish I could be like you some day............

@doz87 said no one ever

Even in notepad, missing a semicolon can be found quickly. LOL

@doz87 it was meant in the most sarcastic way because I'm tired of rants about text editors. It wasn't meant to offend but was just my gut reaction to yet another rant about the same thing.

And that's what they are - text editors. Not IDEs. If someone feels superior because of the program they edit code in then there are bigger issues to deal with.

@stable-penguin sorry mate. It wasn't really directed at you personally. I'm just vetting some new potential devs we are looking to hire and one said they only develop in vim. Just frustrating haha

@doz87 ok glad it wasn't me.. Hopefully the resume stack is deep : ) and you have some alternatives. I try not to use others but it's because of muscle memory... and laziness.

And I would *never* tell someone at work that I "only" work in Vim.. Tell them that the company hasn't upgraded yet and they'll have to use Vi for now :p
