How dare you use a text editor because it's easy to use

stop using vim, if you want a non modal editor use vim -y

Uh, just trying non-modal vim for the first time and… how do I quit it? I can’t :q.

I’ve never tried modal vim because I’ve only just heard about it. The next thing I’d try is restarting the computer. Or Ctrl + Q whichever’s easier.

Ctrl-q and then if it asks to save, type “no, fuck you”

I started on Unix systems using Vim, so I find Nano to be the confusing editor. A Vim install is one of the first things I do on a new server.

Easy is relative. What are you trying to do? Replace a value in an yaml file? Then nano is easier. Trying to refactor a business critical perl/brainfuck polyglot script in production? Then you probably want to use vim (or emacs if you are one of those people)

That’s like the picture of a normal dude with Nano, a large Vim dude, a larger buff Emacs dude and an ever larger massive Ed dude.

eh the emacs folks are just chilling in a corner somewhere. Maybe in the old folks home together with the ed users

Don’t forget the joe user in the corner wearing a trench coat with a bomb strapped to his chest wired to a dead man’s switch.

Ed is like Skynet itself.

Do people still use ed unironically outside of scripting context?

Unironically? Maybe not. But using something ironically is still using it.
