Looking up that shit IMMEDIATELY

ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?? YOU CAN JUST HAVE A TERMINAL ATTACHED TO IT TO DO WHATEVER??? HOW did I not know about this sooner I spent literal hours researching how to best use neovim

That was literally my only problem with cli-based text editors and its just there???

I’m gonna be so fucking powerful now that i know this , thank you you beautiful lemmy user

Edit: I feel like this guy at about 2:00 in this video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9sv3ydNBfQA

And I can’t really argue with you cause, I’ll be honest with you, I’m an amateur programmer. I actually do use neovim though, I just said vim because it’s just more recognizable. Like, that’s just kinda the name of this general category of thing. Don’t have enough experience to know the difference between the two though (except that vim doesn’t clear itself from my terminal when I exit, that’s annoying. Oh and the tutor. And the color. But I haven’t experimented with any of those cool plug-ins yet…)

That’s the thing though, they would drop it in an instant if there was an alternative. The fact that there’s no competition on the OS front is due to conscious efforts on their part to monopolize desktop operating systems because they wouldn’t be able to compete if they had competition.

You’re talking to a vim user. If you even suggest that a MS product is better I’ll go crazy and crush up my own teeth into dust and then put it in my morning breakfast milk to make Teeth Milk (Tilk)

You’ve been warned.

(It’s 6 in the morning and I still haven’t slept I’m really sorry about this but this reply seems really funny to me so I’m posting against my better judgement)

That’s called a scam artist, and honestly that’s not far off at all. They did some sneaky shit to maintain a monopoly.

Does Microsoft understand anything? At all? They suck at making software, they suck at making operating systems, they suck at making genAI, they suck at making game consoles, they’re starting to suck at owning github, what don’t they suck at? What part of their business is done better than anyone else? What end user experience is better on an MS product than anywhere else? They have a shittier alternative to literally everything and nothing truly good.
