Maybe she just wasn’t impressed by your noob skills and is having doubts herself?

My jaw literally dropped reading that.

I think it’s time to go outside.

This relationship can be saved as long as the guy’s wife does not start expressing an interest in Emacs. That would, of course, put an end to the relationship, but if she’s one of those “Notepad is all I need” types, there is hope this can be worked through.

Maybe she already evolved past vim to kakoune. 😎

I actually went, emacs -> vim -> helix -> kakoune.

You made me look up helix again after a few years and it’s gotten pretty sick actually. I might main it for a while to see how it fairs. It’s fairly similar to kakoune of course, but it’ll take a while to get all the modes into my muscle memory. The similar actions are in different modes and there are many more modes in helix as far as I can tell. But it’s cool, looking forward to experimenting.

“nothing fancy” that’s the issue, just some jumping won’t impress her; you gotta do the real crazy shit. Friggin “wife not impressed by my cooking? I make a hard boiled egg and she isn’t impressed”

He should have installed neovim with LSPs for Python/Rust/etc for intellisense and linting to really get her all hot and bothered.

At first, I was mad. Then the slow, sad realization that you’re more right than not…
