Counter-point: Atom is terrible. Its electron competitors are terrible. Big IDEs are terrible. Simple text editors are terrible.
If you are under 50 and chose to learn vim or emacs, there is a 100% chance that you were also forced to learn latin at school and honestly it's not your fault that you turned out this way.
These are all the options. Sometimes all the options are terrible.
There are actually a lot of people learning latin
Yep, I learned a good bit of it in school. That shit's helpful.
Romanes eunt domus!
Me too, but I never found it helpful. What's your experience in using it in life?
Vim or emacs? I mean I know they were created a long time ago, but they are both pretty good pieces of software, both highly configurable. I don't understand people aversion to them, rather than having the false belief that they are too complicated? When in reality they just aren't intuitive in terms of modern stuff. But they aren't difficult, just different.
