It should be VIM

No one comes back from VIM.

Those who say they have are dirty liars... or have it paused in the background.

...or eventually convert to the cult of Emacs.

When I use Emacs, it's with Evil.

Neovim plugin+vscodium/vscode are great

... because official vscode binaries are proprietary, released under EULA and include tracking components

official vscode(oss) binaries still have tracking, they're not properly configured and come without any marketplace. (arch ships a config file with openvsix though)

vscodium comes without tracking and pre-configured with openvsix marketplace, and also provides it's own branding.

@vox really!! I thought that vscode open source

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

yes, but vscode's source code is still released under an open-source license. (that's what vscodium and code-oss are built from)

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

There's the base vs code source code, which microsoft takes, adds a bunch of tracking, compiles it, and distributes that binary. If you compiled vs code yourself from source, you would not get the same executable.

A bit like chrome, because i'm pretty sure chrome isn't open source, chromium is. Could be wrong on that.

Pfff. Try joe editor, then. It's a Wordstar clone. For those of us that loved Wordstar, it's as much as a home to us as vi/vim is.

I successfully moved to NeoVim

No one comes back from VIM.

5x ESC (for good measure), then type :q!
