micro for sensible defaults out of the box, and because I don't like modal editors.

I used to use Neovim but now I mainly use Helix, it's really good by default, the most hassle is usually just looking up an LSP for a language and installing it.

My config file literally only has the theme I use, unlike the heavy configs I'd have to make so that vim/nvim are the way I want. I also like the multiple cursor approach it has to editing.

Team Neovim.

I looked into ed, then decided its not for me.

nano for quick things; emacs for longer typing sessions.

Neovim

I only ever use a terminal based editor for making quick edits of config files, so nano works just fine for me.

Vim forever, any flavour, don't care.

Why? Does actually exist anything else for the terminal?

nano but i'm a casual. i can use vi/vim in a pinch, but i'm inefficient. ed and emacs are totally foreign

i tend to use a graphical text editor like Kate unless there is a specific reason to do it in the terminal

Neovim, configured entirely through nixvim. I always liked neovim, but it's never been as incredibly stable as now with nixvim.

Main/only IDE both in private and at work. Can't ever go back, muscle memory has ensured that.

micro for sure. But I dont use it as a main editor. Just for quick text file adjustments.

I have switched to using helix, so no matter which distro I am on I need to change it to be my default by setting the EDITOR env var.

Neovim.

another vote for Neovim!

mcedit

Emacs!

Team vim! Learned it five or six years ago, and never looked back. I've also got vim motions enabled for my shell, in the browser (firefox with vimium), and in my window manager (sway).

I use nano for quick edits. I don't know more than the basics of vim, and don't do a lot of editing on the terminal so I haven't needed to.

nano or micro for quick cli edits. i prefer smth like vscodium for more detailed editing.

What to do other than installing nano and changing visudo?

suffer.

isnt the whole point we get to use the tools we want?

I use vim. I learned it because I started on a bunch of hosts where I couldn't install what I wanted. But unless you have a similar restriction, go ahead and install what you like.

It's a good idea to play around with others to see what they have to offer, but at the end of the day, you do you

For novelty I do install msedit, because nostalgia is rose tinted. But for realsies it's vim, not because I'm good at using it, but I'm familiar enough.

My first distro shipped with pico, so I often choose nano for an edit. Micro is fine, too, but I won't go out of my way to install it.

I challenged myself to write a couple of projects in neovim over a month or so. I finished my projects, but it still felt like the tool was getting in my way. Muscle memory is to break. Current job requires a bigger IDE, but I still do my commit messages with neovim.

Exporting $EDITOR instead. Also, i don't use sudo; too much for desktop, too insecure for server.

Nvim all the way

A few years ago I'd say Vim but nowadays it's Neovim for me.

Ed when i need to get into a server and i have no clue whats running.

Nano when i know whats running and i cant install things.

Vim when i can install things.

At wprk we use vscode wnd jetbrains products but they are omly ok. I still like vim more.

Have been using vim for the longest time, but I‘m getting into nvim :)

Vim for the most part, and nano for when I'm tired and can't remember how to work vim.

just learn acme
