vim thoughts and rants
§§§ priviously on shrik3’s 无能狂怒
text editor edits text!!!
repeat after me: T-E-X-T editor! What’s the fucking point of pulling out a CNC machine and call it “a better knife”? vi is a text editor, neovim is a text editor, lunar/astro/nvchad/* is not a fucking text editor. Just be honest with yourself. When you want a debugger, a languague server, a treesitter, a VCS integration, a rocket launcher … in your workflow, say it out loud that you want an IDE (just because you control the “I” of the “IDE” doesn’t change what it is.).
There is no elitism in this rant: I use whatever gets things done. The point is, arguing about the “the best text editor for programming” is just pointless.
§§§ when a text editor is less than a text editor
Now I’m thinking, what should be integrated into a text editor and what shouldn’t?
