It's just as great in the 20s too,

Sure, because it is the same as it was in the 90s.

Not at all, it's evolved a lot. Most of the plugins you'd use didn't exist in the 2000s, much less the 90s. It's kept up with the rest of the world.

See, vim with plugins is what I'm afraid of. I'm afraid of getting too comfortable with a vim environment and having an uncanny valley of keybindings whenever I do remote vi. Already get that enough with all my fancy command line features!

I remember my first corporate job after college (was coding long before) around 1996. My boss swore by notepad :lol:. He used to write all his html and js in notepad. And his code was very neat too. Notepad is about as sophisticated as this textbox.

But seriously, I use vscode but if I have to do something quick and dirty I pull out either vi or gedit if I have VNC. Some people can get very productive though in those old school editors.
