   There are three ways to edit text on a #Linux or #Unix like systems: 🫣

   0. The vim or vi way
   1. The emacs way
   2. The wrong way

   Which one are you? 🤔

     @nixCraft Under a ssh connection nano, otherwise under the FreeBSD or Linux GUI Kate, but better yet, BBEdit under macOS. Have zero interest in a 1970/80’s command mode editor (vi[m]) or the complexity of emacs. I have the escape from vi in muscle memory, but I would never use it to edit anything.

     @nixCraft nano.

     Followup: does VI/Emacs users also use vscode?

     @nixCraft 1 and 2 can be grouped together. #Vim is the right editor.

     !wq translates to "I have spoken" It's so satisfying!

     @nixCraft Emacs, and Emacs only. This is the way.

     @nixCraft Using vim or emacs to edit a config file feels like using a nuclear reactor to boil water for tea. Nano is good enough, any other text editing job I prefer to use GUI tools; either GNOME text editor or VSCode 🤷♂️

     @nixCraft I don't really know what the back engine for the text editor I use is. And I don't really care, my life does not need the complication as long as it works.

     @nixCraft I know 0 and 1 are cool, but if you want something cooler you can edit text by writing 0s and 1s directly to /dev/<disk-file>. 😎

     @nixCraft GNU #Emacs, because Vi/Vim don't do what I want. GNU Emacs and Vi/Vim are really not comparable programmes.
