First time when you ssh into your Linux terminal and you gotta “sudo crontab -e” or something and it’s like “what editor do you want to use?” and nano sounds lame so you choose vim cause the sound is cool when you say it and then you have to wipe the whole comp and start over

I develop only in vim, i find it way better that any modern gui.

VSCode with the VIM mode plugin is kind of the best of both worlds.

I dislike the graphical interface. Console helps me to be more productive.

Maybe it was just me, but I found VSCode's undo/redo vim trees (u/r) to be kind of awkward when compared to real vim.

Native vim? Or with an elaborate preference file?

I personally have grown so accustomed to vim that if I have to ssh to a new (to me) server I would rather use stock vi (which in most systems is actually an alias for vim) to any other editor. But honestly I have made an alias for a script that ports over my elaborate vimrc file for every first login to a new server or instance lol. It makes me feel a little like a diva 💁💅

Vim with a minimal preference file, but sometimes vim only, i don't like vi cause it lacks syntax highlighting
