  • VI was so pathetic and old - blasphemy! - that I almost gave up on college and the career as I mistakenly thought in my grief, at having to suffer that dreck, that it was all gonna be like that.

    Thankfully someone showed me anything different. About 5 options, actually . I picked one and I’m happy to use anything else (eg sed-i) unless vi is the only thing left; and then I decide whether it’s worth it.

    What a sad old callback to the Vietnam war that is (not for the name; it’s that old).

    I know the vi cabal will be upset to hear someone who tried it actually doesn’t worship it. They’re gonna downvote me. That’s okay. I got over that hate 30 years ago.

    Just remember : there’s probably something else you can use and experience more joy, if they haven’t demanded everything else be removed.
