Only a few people get it. You are in the vanguard, my friend

I don’t think anyone cares about emacs vs vim anymore. (Because that would require caring about emacs even a little bit). It is now VSCode vs neovim and it seems like a tough fight.

Clearly! Emacs has won but the fight for the second place is fierce.

I'm on the verge of converting. I'm sick of vscode using 4-6 CPU cores at 100% when I'm not doing anything.

Do you think drawing a cursor is free ? Think again. /s

I'm conceited enough that lately I've been thinking, "maybe I should just write a text editor. It can't be that hard."

I tried a new text editor today that's written in rust. I downloaded the tar.gz and it just had a single executable binary in it It doesn't feel any more responsive than vscode, but at least its rust extension seems to work. I wrote like 20 lines of rust without any borrow checker errors so it was a good day?

Back when I worked on space ships, I used gedit and grep. That was before gedit's UI got butchered. Those were the good old days I guess.

neovim. I'm still trying to help my friends work through their guilt over running VScode at all.

That sounds very difficult, if it is even possible. Instead, you should probably just get new friends.

Why not nano?
