Never ceases to amaze me how people get so exercised over a text editor.
I remember the time when Linux jokes were about audio drivers and X11 config files, but audio has long been working out of the box, and X11 is already dead and cremated.
Even recompiling kernel now takes around five minutes instead of two hours, so that joke is irrelevant too.
So all we are left with is timeless discussion of which text editor is the best, and dumping on Windows.
This has been a lighthearted fake rivalry for as long as these text editors have existed.
That's because we all know which is the obvious superior text editor.
Windows 11 Notepad.
Neovim-HEAD or you’re a boomer.
Helix, the true choice among champions.
I'd even say as long as text editors have existed at all
Most old ones - older than vi - are terrible. I have to sometimes use the IBM mainframe editor at work. It is terrible.
But I wouldn't be surprised if the memes give outsiders the impression that there is a real text editor war.
It’s not a war, war implies a fight, it’s a one sided massacre.
FTFY. :P
seriously . wayland is hot dumpster sludge
Gnome sucks!
Ducks and runs away
Bullshit, gedit is great
Gnome is fine if it works the way you do.
