Nice article!
I never really understood why the learning curve of Vim is considered steep. It's different than modern editors for sure, but learning it is not that bad. It took me two weeks to be able to modify any text file I wanted, and maybe three weeks to one month to ditch my IDE.
Oh and you can type
vimtutoranywhere, not only from the home directory.Thanks for reading and for the tip!
"First instinct was to panic and then close the terminal window." 😂 So relatable! 😅
I feel as if I am repeating myself here, but that was such a great article again, Denise! I wish you would have been around three years ago already, you would have saved me so many headaches! 😄 I love the way you approach these articles, you deliver exactly the right information in such a beautifully humorous and concise way.
(Ugh, I can already see how if you keep going down this path of vim exploration, you will take me right with you into that rabbit hole again.. 😅)
Thank you for this! Truth be told, I always get confused with nano, so this actually really helped and I learned some new things again 😍 You're a great tech writer!
Heh. I'm the other way round. On the few occasions I use a GUI editor I find them so complicated, so hard to navigate. If anyone can write a guide to VS Code for old Unix grey-beards I'd love to read it!
Yes, I can also relate to that too. VSCode can be pretty intimidating too at times, especially if you haven't used it before. I'm definitely going to be writing about it in the future :)
Emacs FTW!
I believe that's XEmacs. Without doing any research ;), I think emacs came first as a terminal editor, then it was adapted to a GUI.
Exiting Vim - Philanthropy, save someone's psyche)
I'm new on Linux environment and just start exploring centos on cloud, maybe I should try vim.
I know I should vim more.

Just cloned it!
I already tried it before, but it didn't recognize my terminal, kitty.
This is now fixed.
If I can use it with a language server, I might switch (of course nano can't, but that's ok for vim/neovim).
vim is ok i only use it on my server but use IntelliJ for EVERYTHING ELSE
Helpful article, but so many animated gifs made it difficult to concentrate on the text.
