I tried everything, from Esc, Ctrl-C, REISUB, even ctrl-alt-delete.

I gave up and held down the power button

      I toss some magnets in the case then burn it, gotta make sure Vim doesn’t come back for vengeance if I perform the arcane shutdown ritual incorrectly.

      I can’t believe that there are still people that code in Vim, lol 😂. Not only that, but they encourage others to learn how to use it and code in it… WTF, I get that some people like retro stuff, but that’s just plain stupid. Why not code in ASM then, it’s retro as well 😂.

        Because it’s super fast and beautiful. I use neovim though, not vim. Colleagues are always asking me how i can move around so fast. Well because it’s all shortcuts and since the editor responds instantly… It just happens very fast.

        It makes it a lot more fun to edit code :)

        VS code is also decent but it has that laggy feeling all the time, and it’s frustrating.

        Red hat Linux still doesn’t ship with anything else installed by default (I mean apart from sed) so vi is your only choice if you’re in an environment where you’re not about to install a package (if repos are even accessible) everytime you log in a new server.
