Why do you people voluntarily use this antiquated trash?

>new
>Better

I want UNIX to fucking die.

Antiquated implies that is both old and useless (when compared to other options). Not just old by itself.

Why do you people voluntarily use this antiquated trash?

Guy who tried vim once and couldn't get his head around it so he went crawling back to code::blocks detected.

vim is antiquated trash, acme is the future
unix is antiquated trash plan 9 is the future
x86 is just trash

>Guy who tried vim once and couldn't get his head around it so he went crawling back to code::blocks detected.

How do you remember all these commands? I need to google things like %le every time.

I feel you, but we just have to wait a bit more: both Solaris and HP-UX has died recently, AIX is next, *BSD is less and less relevant, and macOS and Linux are steadily moving away from Unix shit. In 5-10 years Unix will finally be dead.

pretty comfy and ubiquitous and does its job
debating tastes says more about you then your choice of editor

Whats the alternative, ARM?

Hi, Rob.

Why do you people voluntarily use this antiquated trash?

print off a cheat sheet and just keep at it until you don't think about it anymore.

I'm not even meming.

The same way you remember Ctrl+S and shit. You keep practicing

Why do you people voluntarily use this antiquated trash?

Because losers will try anything to be precious little snowflakes. They think their shitty Vim make them special, respected, and el1t3 hacker, yet the reality is everyone thinks you're a cringy faggot.

It can't even copy and paste.. Need I say more?

Why do you people voluntarily use this antiquated trash?

Daily reminder that Unix is the base of MacOS, Android & iOS not just Linux.

Use neovim

How is it different?

how is *bsd less and less relevant

because xmodmap.

>RISC-V is an alternative for production workloads

You're an idiot.

This
but it's easier.

You don't even have to press Ctrl or Alt for the shortcuts to fucking work. You can use Emacs if you insist on having to press another key.

RISC-V is a modular ISA, you can create whatever cores you like using it, from uCs to Xeon-tier stuff. Granted, the development of the later from scratch would require billions of dollars and many years, so no one is gonna do it in the foreseeable future, but you have to start somewhere.

When I log into my Xenix system with my 110 baud teletype, both vi
*and* Emacs are just too damn slow. They print useless messages like,
'C-h for help' and '"foo" File is read only'. So I use the editor
that doesn't waste my VALUABLE time.

Ed, man! !man ed

ED(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual ED(1)

NAME
ed - text editor

SYNOPSIS
ed [ - ] [ -x ] [ name ]
DESCRIPTION
Ed is the standard text editor.
---

Computer Scientists love ed, not just because it comes first
alphabetically, but because it's the standard. Everyone else loves ed
because it's ED!

"Ed is the standard text editor."

And ed doesn't waste space on my Timex Sinclair. Just look:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 24 Oct 29 1929 /bin/ed
-rwxr-xr-t 4 root 1310720 Jan 1 1970 /usr/ucb/vi
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 5.89824e37 Oct 22 1990 /usr/bin/emacs

Of course, on the system *I* administrate, vi is symlinked to ed.
Emacs has been replaced by a shell script which 1) Generates a syslog
message at level LOG_EMERG; 2) reduces the user's disk quota by 100K;
and 3) RUNS ED!!!!!!

"Ed is the standard text editor."

Let's look at a typical novice's session with the mighty ed:

golem> ed

?
help
?
?
?
quit
?
exit
?
bye
?
hello?
?
eat flaming death
?
^C
?
^C
?
^D
?

---
Note the consistent user interface and error reportage. Ed is
generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm
the novice with verbosity.

"Ed is the standard text editor."

Ed, the greatest WYGIWYG editor of all.

ED IS THE TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA! ED HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF EDUCATED
AND IGNORANT ALIKE FOR CENTURIES! ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS
BODILY FLUIDS!! ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR! ED MAKES THE SUN
SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!!

When I use an editor, I don't want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless
help screens and cursor positioning code! I just want an EDitor!!
Not a "viitor". Not a "emacsitor". Those aren't even WORDS!!!! ED!
ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!!

TEXT EDITOR.

When IBM, in its ever-present omnipotence, needed to base their
"edlin" on a UNIX standard, did they mimic vi? No. Emacs? Surely
you jest. They chose the most karmic editor of all. The standard.

Ed is for those who can *remember* what they are working on. If you
are an idiot, you should use Emacs. If you are an Emacs, you should
not be vi. If you use ED, you are on THE PATH TO REDEMPTION. THE
SO-CALLED "VISUAL" EDITORS HAVE BEEN PLACED HERE BY ED TO TEMPT THE
FAITHLESS. DO NOT GIVE IN!!! THE MIGHTY ED HAS SPOKEN!!!

I should make a video of the mainframe guy at my work, the mainframe text editor is quirky, but the 3270 console is comfy

Fuck googling, just use pic related as your wallpaper until you've mastered everything.

There are some pretty decent youtube videos about it but basically, vim is a language, and it's close to english. You just have a limited set of words and commands to work with:
a - Append
A - APPEND
b - back
B - BACK
c - change
d - delete
i - insert (or in)
I - INSERT
y - yank (like copy)
w - word
W - WORD

now, think of how you can string words together to simple sentences:
diw - delete in word, will delete the entire word under cursor
diW - same for WORD
ciw - like diw, but puts you in insert mode
ci( - change the content of parentheses

but really, print the cheatsheets and TALK TO YOURSELF while you're inputting the commands, it really helps

>antiquated

Thanks for the superior GNU Humour.
gnu.org/fun/humor.html

Because even to this day, no one has provided any alternative.

> (when compared to other options)
Name one 'other option' that is not Emacs or NeoVim and works inside a terminal.

To populate config files dumdum

It's extremely powerful and keep people like you away

Because I don't feel like exiting my tty emulator every time I wish to quickly modify a file

/thread

emacs with evil-mode/neovim

Surprised nobody mentioned BIOS or Von Neuman architecture yet, have to go deeper!

bc KDE hasn't implemented wayland yet

Gotta get my hands on this show again

Vimtutor
Why can't people read the documentation? It's literally in the manual
