I code using Vim to avoid memory leaks.
Nothing leaks outside Vim. Nothing ever leaves.

Did you know, that you can save Sessions?
This is aspecially sweet, when you often work on multiple files regularly

Yeah, rock solid, fast and trusty...
The only problem is, that you meet a steep learning curve, when you first encounter it.
Vimtutor will be your guide

@BroCow Dude. Get your shit together 😛

@BroCow sorry bruh but I reported your comment for being offensive.

@dontpanic not cool dude....
I was just asking if its a commandline tool

@squid lol

Nvim is pretty damn neato too. Lots and lots of cool plugins.

Nothing leaves vim including the user 😅

@linuxxx
What s wrong with :q or :wq or :x or CTRL+x or CTRL+z and just forget about it?

It's not hard to try at least

@devnope It was meant as a joke 😅

@linuxxx i assumed, yet there are far too many who think, that exiting vi is a real issue

@devnope I know haha. I'm personally a nano user because learning those shortcuts right now is a nahh for me and I just like it easy witch regular shortcuts :)

@linuxxx Hmm, those are not shortcuts. Those keys are commands and navigation, just like in a cockpit of a jet fighter or a star cruiser.

@BroCow I had that same opinion like you. I only knew Vim from class and it was such a pain in the ass to work with, in contrast to modern editors. Turns out it's just hard to get used to but actually lightspeeds your workflow. Watch some Vim pros on YouTube. You'll see lines of code magically appearing faster than anybody can type. It took a while but now that I'm pretty familiar with it, I can't go back to other editors anymore.

@SoulSkrix its internal funticons are made to reduce avoidable typing.

Look for 'using vim for taking notes' or something like that and you eventually find some advanced users doing stuff...

The biggest benefit i found was, that i spent less time using the mouse and looking for some obscure funtion in a hidden submenu

But to be honest, for some functions the learning courve is quite steep

@SoulSkrix well, @devnope gave you a good answer already. I can only add a little.

Think of Vim as a Microsoft Word without the gui and menues. You only have hot keys for hundreds of functions.
Nano is a Notepad.
If you only need to change a text document, especially if it's not big - use nano and enjoy life.

If you are a GUI person - keep using the IDE. There's nothing wrong with it.

For the terminal people Vim, Emacs and such are the solution.
