There is no good reason to not use VS Code or Atom. Editing text with the mouse is much faster.

>There is no good reason to not use VS Code or Atom
atom can't handle files larger than a few MB

>installing microshit on your system
I'd rather use proprietary software like sublime or open source trash like atom

Why do Ikeep seeing so many posts about vscode btw? Are microdick shills in a shitposting rampage?

>I can tell they are a pretentious faglord.
Or maybe they just love old school computing. Not every decision people make is based on what others will think of them. OP is projecting.

You judge someone based on the text editor they use? You need to chill out.

But to take the bait: vim is very good, very powerful. It seems foreign at first but after a while you'll understand the efficiency benefits of keyboard navigation.

You know you can turn the mouse on in the config files as well, right? That defeats the purpose of the editor, though.

>have to use the keyboard to navigate
yes
>doesn't play nice when you try to use the mouse
read your first greentext again.
>have to learn completely different shortcuts to do basic things like copy and paste.
"Oh no! I have to learn new things?!?!?!?"
>have to learn esoteric commands to even enter text
Yes. This allows you to continue typing and moving without having to reach for the arrows or the mouse.
>copying doesn't save to to the system-wide keyboard
okay that admittedly kinda sucks.
>have to look up Stack Overflow to figure out how to exit
Every time? The first time might be difficult, but if you have a brain larger than that of a hamster, you should be able to remember it.
>overall shitty user experience
what does that even mean?

>There is no good reason to not use VS Code or Atom
Here is one reason: You're not going to have X11 on a server or other headless device. You won't have your precious VS Code or Atom. You won't have Emacs, and you might, brace yourself... not even have nano! Vi is everywhere, and if you learn it and become comfortable with it, you will be know it and be comfortable with it everywhere.

Any time I see someone telling me vim bad I know they found vimtutor confusing because brainlet.

I haven't actually even gone through vimtutor, and I still use it comfortably as my main tool for editing text. I should probably do it sometime though, as there might be some stuff in there that I don't know yet.

>Implying moving hand off keyboard, grabbing mouse, moving mouse, clicking mouse, moving hand back to keyboard is faster than moving 1-2 fingers to a position within 1-2 keys of the home row

Child detected.

Also, vimtutor exists for a reason you dumb cunt.

>having to go through a tutorial to use a fucking text editor
Pretentious tryhards.

I tried learning vim for 2 months. Wanted something to write code on, that would work for both windows and linux, and I wouldnt have to use any IDE for windows or other languages.

I gotta tell you this, not using an IDE adds in a whole day of work for every task you want to accomplish.

And then I see people using Vim over the GUI terminal. What's the point in using VIM if you're going to use a fucking GUI?

>implying you didn't generate a cryptographically-secure string of entropy the first time you tried to quit vim

Vim is the ideal editor for large refactoring jobs.
Anti-Vim folks like OP like to share how hard they are to use. However, at my job, when an issue comes along that requires some real text editing, they estimate that it will take them more than 4 times longer, and if they're assigned the issue, they always miss details.
And if you think it's pointless to put that time in up front, get out of programming. I don't want you contributing to anything I touch, because you won't be prepared for it.

Vim is a single tool, not a replacement for an IDE.

>copying doesnt save to sys wide clipboard
hold shift and alt and do a block select then copy to system clipboard. its not that hard.

Whenever someone tells me they use vim, I feel sorry for them because they dont use emacs.

>having to press escape ever

All the cool kids are dual binding their caps keys to escape and caps.
Some people even use ;; to escape from insert mode.
>having to press CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + W + KWLEJLKJ ever
I can oversimplify things too.

People who don't use nano are the true brainlets.

>need muh flashy colers and muh tardwrangler shit or i cant kode

but nano has colors too
nano is just brainlet emacs

Vim is faster and time is money. You're just va brainlet who is too stupid to use it.

Whenever someone tells me they use VS, I can tell they are a pretentious faglord.

There is no good reason to not use vim or emacs. Editing text with the keyboard is much faster.

this is how fucking stupid you look. total brainlet.

Holy shit that picture is fantastic

Fuck off poo in loo fucking code monkey. W-woah bazinga bro! Fucking disgrace

why not? If you install plugins isnt it supposed to replace ides?

VS Code is open source you fucking mong.

So? MS could still leave out some "telemetry" reporting that can't be disabled

>he doesn't compile from source
b r a i n l e t

Compiling from source != reviewing thousands of lines of code to ensure there is no hidden telemetry reporting

Retard alert

have you ever installed anything? ever? i sure hope not.

yeah of "course"
MS have an entire OS to spy on you and guess what they will do in a opensource software which only programmers use

Yes, but I don't install Microsoft crap on my Linux system, even if it's open source.

Like I said, I would rather trust the sublime devs than MS.

>and you guess what they will do
As opposed to trusting they will not do it based on a flimsy logic? They have a history of spying so it's not unreasonable to be wary of MS as a whole.

you need to install 10+ plugins to get the same functionality, all with different and new commands

on the other hand, it took me a few days to get used to acme for being mostly mouse-driven, but have since used it as my primary editor, even at work

use whatever makes you more productive/works best with your job's development environment

- Vim never stalls or crashes.
- Opens instantly.
- Uses 1 mb of RAM instead of 1 GB.
- Available on literally every machine.
- Usable through SSH.

>not using notepad++

fuck off
