Are there any use cases left for "productive" and "ergonomic" text editors, if clanker types faster anyway?
>>
>>109628425
if the speed of typing is your only concern,
cat /dev/random does it faster.
also modal text editors are a gatekeeping timewasting snobbery.

The usecase for vim for me wasn't that it was ergonomic or efficient.
It's that it's in the console and that it works alongside other cli tools.

i don't use clanker. well, I do, but only for sex chats

It's fun. Neurotypicals wouldn't understand

1) it's cli, that shit can run on potato hardware reliably.
2) buffer navigation. if right, you can move around marked points in a buffer (do they still call them that on modern text editors?) or text file with ease, which helps if you need to read long shit.

I don't get this argument. I learned vim bindings in a few weeks in high school and probably saved orders of magnitude more time writing code in college and at work.

But >>109628425 is right. All you need these days is Claude Code and Notepad (maybe not even that). Programming as an art is dead.

that's how I feel about people are who are anti AI

here's your time waste.
modal editing and macro-enabled keyboard-focused ergonomics are completely orthogonal.

Typing code fast is retarded. You need to be checking your docs every two seconds so why tf would you be using Vim?
