      Oh great… Look at the GNUguy. Here he is walking around all GNUde. He’s gonna come over demanding GNUggets of wisdom. And I’m just gonna say it, hell GNUpe, leave me alone to compile my thoughts in peace.

      This comment was purely for fun, isn’t even funny, and frankly laughable. But it seemed like a good time for some word play. ✌️

    I use both(or many, actually).

    • emacs for working on languages that I’m learning, and coding challenges websites(e.g.: codewars)
    • vim for one-off config edits, browser navigation
    • neovim(lazyvim) for rust and lua, and at home
    • vscodium(with neovim key bindings) for typescript, and at work
    • android studio(with vim keybindings) for kotlin/compose
    • xcode for swift/ui
    • nano when I feel funny

      How funny do you have to feel to use nano? Are we talking barely walking or a wee bit tipsy?

        haha, I used nano a lot before I learnt vim. but now, I find it confusing when pressing jk appears on the screen instead of my cursor going down/up.

        it’s not a nano problem, just my muscle memory(for the same reason I swapped mac’s keys)
