Spoken like someone who knows absolutely nothing about vim/unix.
I know it has a steep learning curve with no benefit over GUI alternatives (unless you have to operate in a GUI-less environment).
Which makes it flat out dumb for a professional developer to use. "Lets make our dev environment needlessly difficult, slowing down new hires for no reason will surely pay off in the long run".
This is it -- the dumbest shit I'll read today, and I was just dunking on Nazis.
I can run Neovim on my phone via Termux. I can run Neovim over SSH. I can run Neovim in tmux. That's not possible with VSCode.
Bruh, there's a whole help page on that:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh
I have serve-web running as a service, but that only works well on desktop screen layouts — from my experience, it runs terribly on mobile. However, even then, my tab layout isn't synced between devices. My tmux saves all of my open projects, so I could throw my phone in a woodchipper at any moment, pull out my laptop, and be exactly where I left off. Good luck doing that with vscode.
Congrats, if you're trying to write software from your phone you should be fired as a software engineer.
Again, it is stupid as fuck for any software developer to use VIM. If you have to telnet into some random bullshit server for whatever reason you're obviously in a different position. But real, good, maintainable software is not written and built by teams insisting on creating learning curves for no reason.
I prefer Micro via Terminus
Lol nice bait
