- Yes but have you tried quitting vim's "easy mode"?

Nah, ikea is the original escape room.

I see you haven't used ed.
- Yeah, I don't get why the meme is about vim instead of ed. https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.html
  
  I think escaping ed is easier than vi, although using it is completely different.
  
  I've been using Linux as a desktop for over a decade and have never heard of ed before. I'm assuming that its general lack of popularity is why no one talks about it
That would imply that there is a way out with out using the power reset button...
