Hated Vim because when I was a cs major we were forced to use it to learn c++ (self.vim)

Randomly got into selfhosting/webhosting and everytime I need to edit anything when using the terminal, I end up installing vim and using it to edit stuff, it feels so much more comfortable than any other way of editing. I like vim now, it's the first thing I install when I need to config something. I like that its a modal editor and I have to use insert so I dont accidentally change stuff, if I want to save I :wq, if I don't I just :q, don't have a million options show up, it just works.

You can certainly still change stuff while not in insert mode

No, it's literally impossible to accidentally edit the text when in Editing Mode. /s
