Any vim lover here? 😁
And How's your weekend?

I need to comprehend what this whole vim hype is all about. Everyone seems to love it, for me I think sublime works just fine but I'm sure someone can enlighten me on why vim is so popular?

@px06 sys-admins and terminal users like it more than developer 😅

I think the reason why it is so popular is that you are unable to use things like sublime on an Linux server is without a GUI.

And since I moved from the sys-admin world as well i haven't heard something from ide's like sublime for a long time because you simply don't need it depending on your work you are doing.

This may be A reason ... Don't know ^^

@px06 hype????!???!?!?

vi has been around since the begining of time, well almost (1976)

It is not going anywhere, anytime soon, so don't you dare call it a hype. If anything, sublime, atom, vsc ... are the hype. Since they'll be long gone while vi would still be around :/

@px06 "I think sublime works just fine" - you are correct. But vim rocks.

@rusty-hacker lol I didn't mean it in any insulting way. What I'm saying is, why do so many people actively use vim when GUI and usability has come so far. I have nothing against vim, in fact I want to learn how to use it because it looks really powerful.

@Lahsen2016 first read about difdrrences between vi and vim and what emacs surpported in mid 1970s, then open your gap.

@px06 most environments I use don't have sublime installed; but vim/vi seem to be everywhere. Reason being lack of a GUI; I have to ssh into all the machines I use at my uni, except for my own
