Why quit out of the superior text editor?
27 2 ReplyIf you were talking about emacs, sure. But this is vi(m), it's not even a web browser, let alone a full operating system.

23 1 ReplyI 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 you do anything other than edit text? That's what a pc is for!

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.
7 0 ReplyIn theory you can fire up vi(m) in an emacs terminal, so... I guess?

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

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