ssh has entered the chat. "Who's making fun of my homeboy Vim?"

[@EmptyJarDoto]

And why would you need to ssh and edit files directly through terminal as a programmer? Do you not have your production machines isolated? Can you not use rdp if necessary?

[@hybridsh4d0w]

I've always used vim because it doesn't required to be installed and I could use it in every location.

Jetbrains IDEs are amazing

[@Automation_Optimal_Control]

I learned to code in Auto-cad because I wanted to work for Auto-makers

[@chibchan3765]

I remember back in a day i use Pen, paper and the three-strikes rule

[@AlohaBrent]

Vim mode in Xcode and Nvim for everything else. Gmail and Mail on Mac support some basic vim motions too. ZZ

[@dantedt3931]

I've installed a vim extension on vscode. It's a winning combination.

Jetbrains is something can not live without

I am a vim user for more than 10 years, got that is not easy to use and of course not required. But for all the teams I worked with I create a little survival guide I made for it in case they need to connect to remote server or they are in a situation that cannot use other editor, worth it.

[@i-use-4rch-btw]

I switch between TextEditor (Mac equivalent to Notepad), VS Code, Vim, and Neovim just based on whatever I feel like each day

[@bobbobert9379]

Vim keybinds are goated. Neovim is the way. Lots of features, constant updates, vim experience.

[@nikileshreddy2029]

You can use vs code extensions to get vim features

[@lonelyshpee7873]

It's :q btw. I'm sorry you couldn't exit vim and had to make this video to vent. We've all been there, buddy.
