Yes, I'm an old man yelling at cloud, but Vim and Neovim are fantastic text editors that really are worth the half hour you'll spend running through the tutorial to learn them, and the subsequent two weeks you'll spend installing plugins and configuring it exactly to your liking. It really does make writing software more efficient and really doesn't deserve the reputation it gets from "vim is hard to exit lmao" memes made by people who haven't bothered to change their $EDITOR to nano, had it launch automatically when they tried to write a commit message, and instantly decided it was just yet another piece of arcane 80s Unix bullshit
