    I know this is supposed to be a joke. But, VI is awful, and i can’t believe anybody would use that over a modern editor. But, I know some people who like it.

      Modern “vi” is typically a symlink to vim, and as long as compatibility is disabled it’s very useful; especially when working over ssh or quick and dirty config editing that doesn’t warrant a full blown ide to be started up.

          Imagine thinking modern IDE are more efficient than vi 😯

          Curser is more intuitive, I agree, but you will never win a code race against similar skilled coder on vi…

              Umm, there are regularly coding race events here where I live…

              Coding can be hobby as well, you know.

              Not all of this world is pure capitalism, some have some free time doing stuff they want how they want.

              Coding is not my profession (right now)

                  😄 why would someone not make his hobby his profession?

                  I have never coded as major part of profession, yet, but I am on the way there.

                    I did it. Stopped being a hobby because after work you will be tired of it, it’s not healthy to code more. All you are doing is giving up what you code for money, and that’s sweet, but eventually it is eroding to be told how and what to code which kills the fun, especially if you adhere to efficiency frameworks and work really hard
