If you were talking about emacs, sure. But this is vi(m), it’s not even a web browser, let alone a full operating system.

I didn’t make such statement, don’t strawman me into this fight. But OP asked why you would need to exit out of it. Well maybe because one needs to do other things than edit text. Which wouldn’t be the case if one were to use emacs.

Why would I want an OS to edit text? It’s already on *nix - I want the best text editor smh

A question that’s been on my mind for a while: can you run vim in emacs? That way you’d have the best editor in the most comprehensive OS.

In theory you can fire up vi(m) in an emacs terminal, so… I guess?

After decades using Vim, I wouldn’t choose to exit it… But it would have been nice to have had a choice…

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules
2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of “peasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

 

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don’t understand or can’t verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community – even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don’t fork-bomb your computer.
