I use vim btw
Like a enthusiast once said “People don’t quit emacs, they just die at some point”.
Notepad ++
notepadqq in Linux
That’s just the sign of a deeper illness. Soon you’ll be installing a disk defragger.
Notepad++ is the only thing I miss from Windows.
To me vim’s main strengths are
- It delivers the same OK-ish experience no matter what file type or language I’m dealing with. Yeah it’ll never be as good as a dedicated Python IDE for writing Python, but I’d rather know vim than 5 different IDEs for Python, YAML, Dockerfiles, Rust, Latex, whatever I need to deal with today.
- It just edits files and doesn’t hide internal state, intermediate files, etc to make my life ‘simpler’ (notepad is the same, so I guess this is more of a strength vs IDEs). When an IDE fails to align all of its internal moving parts just right to compile a project I know I’m in for an hour of figuring out which checkbox needs to be unticked in what sub-sub-sub-sub-submenu, I like it much better to have a “flat” experience of invoking a command line and getting an error message directly from the tool I am invoking.
20ddto delete 20 lines, that’s very neat.
Quick editing for me is in vim. Anything else is in Visual Studio Code. Which I have set up with vim keybindings.
Why would I use Notepad? I’d have to install it first. Does it even have a Linux version or would I have to use Wine? This meme is giving me headaches.
Who in the actual fuck uses notepad?
You would think that Microsoft would have implemented better functionally by now. Yeah they had WordPad but that sucked too.
Like, c’mon, allow me to alt-highlight blocks of text already.
.i la .varik. cu pilno la’o zoi. ed(1) .zoi.
VARIK uses ed(1).
lojban 💀
.i la .varik. cu fanva fi le glibau fo la .lojban.
VARIK translates to English and from Lojban.
have you heard of our lord and savior L L Zamenhof
.i la’o zoi. L.L. ZAMENHOF .zoi. slabu la .varik.
L.L. ZAMENHOF is familiar to VARIK.
mi ne scias kiu Varik estas.
.i la .varik. cu cusku dei… jenai cu se sperybau
VARIK writes the current sentence… and not uses Esperanto.
ho, mi estas konfuza, ĉar vi parolas kiel ili estas alia homo

Seems like the right side should be classic terminal tools like ed. Or any other cat/echo/etc where you change the contents of the file without opening it (or all of it) directly.
can we please forget about this meme template?
