I’ve been using Vim for 20 years.

I only opened it once and I haven’t been able to close it yet

nano

I keep it holy with Emacs

i mean vim is fine and all and i can get around it fine but nano superiority

For much, not for all.

System and user files are pretty close to one another in NixOS, so I use it for both. Sudoedit is set to vim, but I have a kitty and neovim (technically it’s nnot nvim, it’s nvf so I can config it in Nix instead of Lua) environment that tiles quite nicely and uses nonconflicting keymaps.

I use mod+hjkl for navigating my window manager, too, which has led to an interesting situation. Hyprland just migrated to Lua from Hyprscript, and Neovim uses a lot of Lua for inbuilt commands and stuff, so you’d think I’d be thrilled to write them both in the same language. Instead I just sigh at the greener grass because I already configured them both in Nix.

I do use Obsidian (with Vim binds, and monospace source mode as default for everything except tables) for my markdown viewer / primary notekeeping cloud sync, and Kate for previewing media that needs to be formatted right as a .doc or .pdf.

Some Obsidian notes are handled with Vim, actually. I have a script that sets up a new Zettelkasten note with automatic tags and opens it in Neovim, because I find it faster than Obsidian when I have a single thought and need to write it before it’s forgotten. Thanks ADHD. I write Zettelkasten like little scripts of code - unique, atomic, referencing and importing each other, with a unique version history, and Vim’s great at that.

No, I use Neovim. But this I use 100% of the time.

Sorry my hands are busy

I’m a freelance linux it nerd. I figured I better get used to vim/nvim because every company I visited had different tooling available but their servers ALWAYS had vim.

Now I have a nice .vim setup I can easily copy/paste and work easily and fast. I’ve become quite adept in the years following that decision.

Plus, as a freelance dude using vim quickly and flying through code bases makes it really seem like I know what I’m doing / hacker type … I don’t. And I’m no hacker… But the customer is happy soooo :-)

P.s. I’m currently trying out the Zed editor with vim bindings. They are emaculate!

Yes. I also use vim here (in this Web textarea where I’m typing this answer) thanks to Tridactyl.

Yes I love using neovim it feels better having an editor, agent, and cli in separate terminal tabs instead of having one program for all three

I use to use vim but I discovered org mode so I use emacs.

Recently I been doing programming on plan 9 so I been using acme.

VSCode/Codium with vim mode. Regular vim if I’m stuck in text land.

I haven’t tried neovim. Supposedly that could handle everything I need out of vscode, but it’s easier to not be an odd one out at work.

I switch between Nano and Vi depending on what machine I am on and if I remember if Nano is installed.

I used to use vim pretty exclusively, I’ve since switched to neovim. There have been a few cases where vim/nvim weren’t available but regular vi was and I’ve used it to edit text files. I imagine there were other editors but I’m so accustom to how vi/vim/neovim does things that I can’t imagine using anything else. Sometimes someone will try and convince me to use a new editor and I’ll try it but generally end up switching back to nvim. Even vi compatibility mode doesn’t really help because I use a bunch of plugins.

nano for most editing

vimdiff for comparing files (Ie .pacnew files)
