Reddit decides to remove it all.

Captchas will die at last.

how much power it puts in the hands

Yes, repeat that mantra until you find yourself omnipowered power-vimer of powerful power :)

Extremely low profit/effort ratio. Vim demands an enormous (as for a text editor) effort to master it, demands regular usage (it is impossible to keep those voodoo enchantments in the head. Vimers even have cribs with most important commands. Pathetic), and all that for practically nothing.

I spread nothing. I PREVENT YOU from spreading your “nonsense.”

As long as people like you would recommend vim, people like me would warn people to not trust fanatics.

Sometimes things are simple. You just see an ugly thing and say “it is ugly”.
You can apply some mental gymnastics, some philosophical voodoo, some psychological tricks, etc to make shit look like something nice. Moreover, you might even find a few people who sincerely like the shit. But shit is shit.
And there is no any reason, except for spreading the fanatical craziness, to suggest shit to people who want a real tool to solve real problems. No, a few coprophiles don’t make shit an appropriate suggestion to people who just asked for some video.

That’s not “arrogance”. That’s defense of new people. Now they at least won’t unconditionally trust whatever you say. Now they will see that the are other opinions on the matter. And rather strong opinions. Strong opinions don’t appear without reason. It worth investigating. Investigation leads to comparison of other options. Vimer lose. Common sense win.

Vim is a good option

It isn’t. And it stopped being one 30-40 years ago. All it “goodness” holding on the fanaticism of those who spend too much time mastering this “editor” and inventing excuses to call it “good”. It the most counterintuitive interface ever.

And no, I won’t stop pointing that. I wasted a few years of my life on this shit while being younger and trustier. I listened to advise of people who I hoped were more experienced and know better. Alas they were crazy fanatics.

OP asks for markdown editor, not for beeper and text spoiler

I don’t see any future for Rust and forcing such ugly language in the kernel might lead to problems.

Linus is to blame here more than Rust. C++ would be much more straightforward and welcomed by the kernel community update from C. And Linus is afraid of C++.

Rust will kill Linux if it persists there long enough .

Well, it is time to investigate Hurd more closely, I suppose.

Strange that those other Rockstar haven’t nintendoed this Rockstar yet.

What happened?

Just make some simple programming language and call it Vibe.

What do you even expect from the “command line ebook reader”? Are more/less or even cat good enough?

Yes. At some point the software is done. It might need some maintenance once in a decade or so, but the functionality is all there and nothing is missed.

Look at the sky…

Now? Hurd was there since forever. Plus there was (or is, not interested, so never actually checked) a variant with the BSD kernel.

Microsoft can’t do funny things. Microsoft is a bloodsucking sociopath in a clown dress.

You’re overthinking the situation.
