#editorwar — Public Fediverse posts

@jpmens @ed1conf ed needs an add-on such as mountpoint-s3 [1] to do this. Working on a way to do this using #emacs_tramp, which comes built into #emacs. This may settle the #editorWar s.

This isn't supposed to deliver fuel to the gratuitous #editorwar.

It's supposed to clear up a few things why the two tools are so fundamentally different.

#YouTube #AI gets automatic key concept identification wrong:

I'm about to watch a video about two project interaction libraries for my favorite #TextEditor (#Emacs). They're called #Projectile and project.el.

Below the video, YouTube shows an image of a missile, under a heading that says "Key Concepts". Below the image, it says: "A projectile is an object that is propelled by the application".

The hashtags #OOP and #EditorWar come to my mind.

#vim: much more versatile than I thought but still just for wankers. 😈😜

#editorwar #Emacs #fun

@ollej The best editor is both!

#EditorWar

@xi I’ve made a vim plugin to help you evaluate the elisp code when you edit your .emacs file with vim.

#vim #emacs #EditorWar

O. Ich musste gerade mal vi benutzen statt Emacs.
Ich wollte Einträge in .emacs.d/places löschen, und Emacs verändert das File genau so wenn es den Verweis auf das File selbst einträgt, dass die Änderungen raus fallen.

@kubikpixel
Pfff, das ist nicht dasselbe...#vim ist unintuitiv, #tut ist gold. Basta! Fertich! 😅
#editorwar und so...weisste.... 😉
Aber #tut ist echt so eine Erleichterung fuer schwache Systeme wie meins hier. Macht richtig SPass zu benutzen.

Don't need no raw nCurse on a vhIM or any emacs in the back.

> those that have not already discovered the delights of #orgmode are destined to recreate it

Except that inserting orgmode time stamps with the current time requires an arcane series of keypresses (two prefix arguments (not sure what that means?) plus `<C-c>` followed by `.`

https://orgmode.org/manual/Creating-Timestamps.html#Creating-Timestamps

In contrast, my vim version involves turning on a specific mode, and then pressing enter

Really captures the #vim–#emacs difference! #editorWar :D

@mwlucas @alexbuzzbee @balrogboogie

(also, when writing that last toot, I noticed that the hashtag #ed prompts me to autocomplete to #editorWar. That seems appropriate, somehow.)

It recently came to my attention that #trunk has a thriving #emacs list but no #vim list at all. This is an outrage that cannot be allowed to stand! #editorWar #cultOfVi

(Seriously though @[email protected] could you create a vim trunk list and add me to it?)

(If you're not familiar with Trunk, it's a group of interest-based lists to help new Mastodon users find interesting people to follow: https://communitywiki.org/trunk)
