Why should I learn vi/vim/emacs? [on hold]
- by Tom Busby
I hear all the flame wars about vi/vim and emacs and which is better etc but honestly, I just use sublime. When I have to edit from the CLI I use nano (it's simpler to use).
I'm wondering if I'm missing something. Should I put the time/effort into learning one of those text-editors thoroughly, and if so... why?
What is it about these two editors that evokes so much adoration and devotion? Why would I want to use any of them over my nice, multi-caret, GUI text editor?
