Replace vim with emacs and it's actually funny
... cause it's true
Almost, but vim can't display images, doi!
That's what catimg is for.
The funniest meta joke is the emacs bros rushing in the comments
ViM gives you :Sex what does emacs give you
Not an emacs bro, it's just that emacs is like an operating system at this point, while vim is still an editor.
nvim
Vim.
s/VIM/EMACS/
There's a joke that goes, Emacs is an excellent operating system that lacks a good text editor. :)
Honestly a major reason I like emacs better is because most features/programs in it are written in lisp, and I rather write lisp than lua.
there is Fennel https://fennel-lang.org/
Hmm Good argument, but does Vim also have the ability to support a lemmy client?!?
