Bash Script Never Heard Of It

The eternal addict's bargaining of every developer who claims their text editor will eventually rival VS Code after "just one more plugin." Neovim users are particularly guilty of this behavior—installing 47 plugins to get functionality VS Code ships with out of the box, then spending 3 days configuring it all in Lua just to feel superior while editing the same 5 files. The tears really sell the desperation.

The perfect Vim soundtrack doesn't exi— Oh wait, it does! A Spotify playlist for Vim users with song titles that perfectly capture the existential crisis of first-time Vim users: "What Am I Doing Here" - every developer's first thought after accidentally opening Vim "How Did I Get Here" - the moment of panic sets in as you realize normal keyboard shortcuts don't work "Can't Get Out" - the universal Vim experience of frantically trying to exit (hint: it's :q!) "Asdfjkl;" - just random key mashing hoping something works The 1246 saves represent all the StackOverflow searches for "how to exit vim" that have saved countless developer careers.

The text editor hierarchy is real and it's brutal . At the top, Vim/Emacs users look down on everyone with their terminal superiority complex. In the middle, VSCode/Spyder folks think they've found the perfect balance between power and sanity. And then there's the poor soul using whatever text editor came pre-installed with Ubuntu, probably Gedit or Nano, just trying to survive while everyone else judges their life choices. The coding elite have created their own caste system, and your editor choice reveals exactly where you belong in the programming social hierarchy. The deeper you go into customizing your .vimrc file, the more insufferable you become to everyone around you.

The eternal editor war continues, but now with Olympic precision! On the left, we have the high-tech sniper with all the bells and whistles—VS Code armed with AI copilot and enough extensions to crash your RAM. Perfect form, specialized gear, probably takes 30 seconds just to load. Meanwhile on the right, there's our Notepad++ champion—slightly disheveled, glasses askew, but still somehow getting the job done with what's essentially a text file and a prayer. The coding equivalent of bringing a pistol to an artillery fight. And then there's me with Nano, watching from the audience with a slingshot and a rock. At least I can exit the editor without Googling how.

The eternal duality of developer existence! The top panel shows a legendary sword labeled simply "Vi" while the bottom reveals its modern counterpart "Visual Studio Code." It's basically the coding equivalent of choosing between a medieval longsword and a lightsaber. For the uninitiated, Vi is the ancient text editor forged in the fires of 1976, requiring arcane keyboard incantations and mystical commands that separate coding wizards from mere mortals. Meanwhile, VS Code is the shiny, extension-laden Swiss Army knife that practically writes code for you while making coffee. The true comedy? Senior developers clutching both with equal reverence, ready to defend their editor choice to the death. The holy war continues, one keystroke at a time!

The keyboard is literally on FIRE because some poor soul has been frantically smashing EVERY. SINGLE. KEY. trying to escape the black hole that is Vim! 😱 Notice how the Escape key is glowing red hot from desperation, while the ":wq" sequence (the actual way to save and quit) remains untouched in its pristine glory. It's the digital equivalent of being trapped in a room where the exit sign is written in ancient hieroglyphics while you're busy trying to headbutt through the walls! The sheer PANIC radiating from this keyboard is sending me into hysterics. The ultimate developer rite of passage - not knowing how to exit Vim and contemplating a career change mid-keystroke!
