Personally I see a lot of young people use emacs and BSD licences, but because I'm an older engineer and have the wisdom and experience of time, I use vim and GPL.

I honestly can't imagine not using vim. It fits like a glove. Sometimes I find myself typing <Esc>;wq to try and send messages.

Another man with the wisdom of ages, irrespective of the date of your birth. Your choice of text editor reveals that you must also be quite good looking.

Exactly, except for a minor typo. :s/vim/nvim.

I'm also a Vim user; in my Vim wisdom and experience I made it follow the damn XDG spec; if hidden files are a feature, I want it to be a feature for my use-cases, not program clutter.

I use nvim like the user (backers.md baby!) so I get to use `master` with `~/.config/nvim/init.vim`. Of course, I also donated to Bram's Ugandas or wherever, so I think you are a wise and attractive person. Your choice of actions reveals that your soul is deep and beautiful.
