  • What kind of text editing do you do? Coding? Config files? Hard to recommend if we don’t know the use case :P

    If you want to get into terminal text-editors, I recommend https://helix-editor.com/ . It’s modal like vi/vim/neovim etc., but has much easier and more intuitive keybinds, and comes batteries-included and doesn’t require extensions.

    Downsides: Not fully mature, there’s no extension support so not suited for very niche use-cases. And if you ever have to administrate a server through SSH, it will likely only have vim which has different motions and keybinds.

    Been using it for 99% of my coding for three ish years, very happy.






  • You don’t need to be involved in an open standard to extend it in your own standard. It really doesn’t matter who made the open standard, it’s open. If Google decides to extend the standard, the old standard will still be around for everybody to use. In the same vein it doesn’t matter who developed XMPP, Google would have extended it one way or another.

    EEE is a terrible thing but I don’t see how using an open image standard has anything to do with that
