  1. I still use Vim every single day even when I don't write code that day. Just taking notes and other tasks like that. I've probably been using it for as long as you've been alive. It just feels weird to think that Bram is dead and he wasn't even that old. And if they ever make changes I don't like, which I don't see happening anytime soon, then I could just keep using an older version. I'm still on 8.2 even now, just need to update my local clone of the repository.

  3.  @rhodaborrocks1654  I definitely like that analogy. One of the things I picked up over the years was just how many things you could do with block selection. I had a need maybe ten years back to generate a download script that would rename files with a _0000 pattern, and the :%s/ I used had \=printf('_%04d',line('.')-N where N was the offset in the file, but on occasion I'd need to update the scripts and found that I could block select, hit g<ctrl-a> to increment the numbers manually a bit faster even without a keybind.

  4.  @256shadesofgrey  Interesting, though with multiple desktops and a decent modern monitor I can fit two terminals side by side or even have four and it's super easy to alt+tab to another to debug while I'm editing. Granted, I rarely have to debug anymore, but even when I did I would still tile four terminals and my vision was better back then. Although I did recently get recommended nakst's gf and I've been playing with that. It's not bad for being a gdb wrapper.

  6. @@giusdbg Why do you think either has a foot in the grave? Or are you trying to set up a counterpoint that neither does?

  7. @@giusdbg I think that anyone who has a need to write something or edit something already written will always seek out the most efficient way of doing so and that is a non-graphical text editor that uses key combos to operate.
