Isn’t this more of a self-pwn, where the mom was not already this way but needed to be forcibly converted into thus? :-P

One thing I like about vim - which I use literally daily - is that if you time-traveled like 30 years into the past, it would still have the same bindings.

That is actually relevant today b/c when you ssh into a cluster computing / linux farm environment, there is no “mouse”, no “clicking”, no “selecting”, etc., there is only what you can accomplish with your keyboard. Nano, pico etc. do exist - except of WHEN THEY DO NOT!!:-P - but vim is just EVERYWHERE. Regardless of how often I actually make use of that fact, I enjoy the confidence that it gives me that it is there for me when I need it:-).

Similarly for Unix shell scripting, and perl, vs. a language like Python where you never quite know what you are going to get irt to different versions on some other machine that you do not control. I mean, it’s great when it actually works but…

Then again, to each their own, and I begrudge nobody their preferences, especially if it suits what they are doing in the moment:-).

Probably it refers to the keystrokes that stretch out across eternity, like control escape alt mother’s maiden birth certificate, etc.

As opposed to memorizing long strings of completely fictional and irrelevant keystrokes in vim, like :IDDQD!?IDKFA.

It all just boils down to preference. Btw these two sentences are the only ones in this message that are accurate.:-P

That’s… not the point of the meme though:-).

If you want simple, and have an entire IT staff backing you, get Windows.

If you want simple and want elegant, get Mac OSX.

Linux is not that simple (unless everything just happens to work), but it is nice for people to have choices:-).

Pro-Tip: don’t do what others tell you - find what works best for you and enjoy it:-).

It’s a rite of passage! I had to learn it so now you do too! Why, when I was young I used to have to walk to school, uphill both ways, in the snow… :-P

It is speaking to you in an Eldritch language that none of our puny minds can comprehend. When the dreams begin though, then you will know, THEN you will begin to understand…

I like how you pointed out: backwards compatibility is a choice.

For short-term comfort yes, though eventually the hassle of switching may outweigh that, and some users may prefer a longer-term view?
