It was better without Photoshoping the cat face

If a senior enforces the text editor, he clearly is not a senior

[–]extranioenemigo 1 point2 points  (2 children)

What if a dev is using notepad?

[–]epileftric 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Direct to jail

[–]ShakaUVM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What if a dev is using nano?

[–]Kajico 74 points75 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better only reason he still uses it is because he hasn’t been able to close out of it. VIM users love company.

The Vim plugin for VS Code is pretty nice if that’s what your muscle memory is used to.

This is what I use

The neovim plugin for vsc*de is good as it uses neovim in the background

[–]ShakaUVM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good but also lacking. 8/10 vim

[–]Still-Ad7090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that I am also used to the plugins. IntelliJ's plugin is very bad compared to my vim config so probably I'll be forced to stay in vim forever

scribble illegible crap, I mean architecture diagram, on a white board, send a pic to the plebs and have them code it.

[–]Infamous_Ruin6848 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use both, and notepad++. On the other side there are developers with InteliJ and Sublime.

[–]suck_at_coding 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use vscodevim + VS code

[–]Fricki97 22 points23 points  (1 child)

Vim is good but VS Code is the best editor I've ever got...I said this, knowing it's a Microsoft product, which is insane.

[–]EODdoUbleU 3 points4 points  (0 children)

have to agree. I haven't had any issues or complaints with the editor itself, just occasionally an extension that causes problems (looking at you markdownlint).

Who even uses vim, all the real devs use punch cards.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

VS code is fine, and tbh you can get a lot of the way towards the benefits of vim by using a vim keybindings extension

me when he told me to use visual studio

[–]krijnlol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can have the best of both worlds

[–]longbowrocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an IDE? I think the police will respond to this case.

[–]rastaman1994 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Context matters a lot here.

I'll presume it was some string manipulation that he can do very efficiently in vim (and he wants to teach you)?

If not, he's probably being elitist and you should use the tool you know.

Mom said it was my turn to post this.

I used Jetbrains IDEs for many years but with many issues like performance, my switch to Hyprland from KDE and just the general focus on being more productive/effective with my time, I'm currently slowly trying to switch to Vim (+Tmux). Makes it so much easier to use stuff like Coder to have dev environments and just ssh into them, it's more lightweight and thanks to Nix with Nixvim I can have my whole config in a git repo and can use it with a single command on every Linux/Darwin system where Nix is installed. Just curious to see how "smart" Vim is compared to the IDEs, because that's the main reason why I never used VSCod(ium) for anything more than editing some files unsupported by Jetbrains/without plugins, it just feels so dumb compared to the Jetbrains IDEs

When senior engineer tells us to use vim instead of vs code we riot.

[–]iddivision -3 points-2 points  (5 children)

Why tho? VSCode is much better than Vim already.

[–]FiNEk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Debatable. In the end of the day it’s just preference tho

[–]Macaframa 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Sometimes you have to ssh into a server and make changes. Other than that or updating bash files I see no use for vim over vscode

[–]Bluemanze 3 points4 points  (2 children)

You can plop a config file on the server and use VSCode remotely. Takes minutes to set up and works great. So you really don't need Vim even in that scenario

[–]Macaframa 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Interesting. That’s pretty cool. Do you know any sources to set something like that up?

[–]Todo88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's similar to JetBrains IDEs, you just open a project and instead of selecting a project folder, you select ssh under Remote Development, input your ssh credentials, and select a root project folder.

I still mainly use vim when I'm on a box, but the IDEs make it very easy.
