Oh looks, it's only been 10 minutes since the last Vim article was trending on HN, we're rivalling Hollywood levels of bubble here.

Seriously, when CES is currently showing hundreds of new tech products and services, including a Hyundai electric helicopter - Vim is what we still talk about?

View on HN

it's called hacker news, not electrical engineer news, not startups news

It's on YCombinator, which is a startup accelerator

Yes, but it’s never been just about startups or business. It’s always been any topic of interest to hacker types which includes startups and business, but also technology, programming, tools, peoples projects and even sometimes satire of such.

Oh look, it’s only been 10 minutes since somebody complained that a post shouldn’t be on HN or that a topic is over represented and what a bubble HN is!

CES hasn’t been relevant in the past decade. Why would we care?

And Vim is? When there are editors like VS Code?

You have just been arrested on suspicion of wrong-think. If this audience loves Vim and you don't, you have landed on the wrong planet and committed a thought-crime.

You don't have to say anything because the HN jury has already found you guilty on multiple accounts of high treason with a thought-crime and the maximum penalty is a lifetime ban.

Vim is still VERY relevant. Lot's of us prefer its keyboard driven interface and it runs everywhere so if you do learn it it's something you can always have with you.

It's not like VS Code has much in the way of functionality that's not available to Vim/Nvim users via VSCode's extensions or LSP servers.

who needs vs code when u have nano
