minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink15•edit-22 months agoAfter decades using Vim, I wouldn’t choose to exit it… But it would have been nice to have had a choice…
minus-squareTimeSquirrellinkfedilink5•edit-22 months ago the superior text editor I never stopped, I’m still using Nano.
Why quit out of the superior text editor?

Now you’ve gone and made this personal, buddy.
