      If you want a short answers it is a text editor. If you want the long answer i might not be the best person for it but here it goes: You start using it as a text editor but it is a bottomless pit of freedom and practicality, where you put 100s of keyboard shortcuts into muscles memory, and one day you will find your self replacing your terminal with emacs. Then you forgot that GUIs exist all together. You will feel an urge to make fun of vim users. Somewhere along the way you’ll start waching videos of Stallman, and form a desire to overthrow the proprietary overlords. Turn back now! ;)

    Microsoft Word over wine.

    Though I prefer to use it OOTB, no change settins, makes setup easier. I use a script to remove formatting.

    I’ll try emacs as soon as I find something that isn’t already perfect with vi

      Well surely vi could be improved, otherwise we wouldn’t have vim?

            You can’t really use go want to do look more like until you’ve first been far even as decided to even go. It’s a prerequisite🤣

      It’s my go to editor wherever possible.

      Learn the keybindings, play a few vim games and install an opinionated suite of plugins like lazyvim.

      Before you know it, you too will curse every other editor in existence which doesn’t at least offer vim keybindings 😄
