    Alternatively you can use and support a true community-driven editing environment dedicated to preserving your freedom, like vim/neovim or emacs.

      You can also use Debian 1.1 but the makes zero fun as well.

      Why make your own life hard for no reason. VIM is really really outdated when it comes to ease of use.

      There is not a single thing where vim is better in any way. The argument that it is faster is the biggest lie ever.

      Example: I write a few hundred lines of python code and execute it but sadly made formal mistakes. VIM does not help a bit. It might take hours of bugfixing with help of a command line.

      Python addon and some others would have instantly found those mistakes saving myself a lot of headache.

      That’s the same comparison as the senior developer and the normal dev. The dev might type twice as fast but making 5 times the mistakes he still needs a lot more time than the slow index finger typing senior.

        vim is not outdated, it was easy to use to begin with and could not be optimized any further. Yes, there are plugins/extensions/… to add more features, but on a basic install of vim you have everything you need to navigate source code and config files.

    Sadly with much less extensions, i use it just to compile and flash my marlin 3D printer and every extension needed has to be set up manually, for some reason even then i can’t get it to work.
