If you use Vim you'll never use any other software
That silly program can't trick me! I used Vim last year and I'm totally able to use other programs!

You surely mean Emacs, no?

Pro tip for new VIM users: it's "Q".
Why Chatgpt and not Gemini? Also why no vpn? You could have put VPN by Google
Even though I regularly use vim for editing files, so many shortcuts and commands are still unknown. How would one approach this issue without reading the man page? Asking for a friend…
vimtutor is the starting point for learning vim, but it's fairly surface-level. To actually learn vim, you should read through the user manual by typing :help usr_01 and hitting enter in vim. It's also accessible online here: https://vimhelp.org/usr_01.txt.html#usr_01.txt.
It's a fairly quick read, about 40ish pages that are reasonably short and is intended to be read straight through like a book. It provides a good overview of all of vim's features.
Note: this is distinct from the reference manual, which is much, much larger and isn't intended to be read straight through.
Vim -> Emacs
Please! no more editor wars, just use ed! And if you need the fancy modern features, you can always use notepad.
Text editors should be simple and approachable above all. Nano is undeniably the best by this definition.
I've been daily driving nano for years, I wish it was less of an afterthought when people debate text editors.
As a simple terminal editor with no bells and whistles it works great, I used it a lot at my last job when I had to make a small tweek on a program that was loaded on the "build server".
It's simple, easy to use, and doesn"t fight you.
You misspelled Emacs
How do I get off Google voice?
Guess what? :)
