I know it's a classic but confused how I'm supposed to use Vim to send an email

Already got my Vim, any tips?

Emacs!

Sounds like vim is aspiring to be Emacs.

Shameless self-promotion

Emacs btw

This feels like a meme a vim user would make about emacs being bloated

You used the wrong icon. It should be emacs

This would be more believable with eMacs tbh

This is one of those threads where it is like all of you are just speaking funny(?) gibberish at each other.

Mom: we have Google Maps at home

Google Maps at home: Vim

"YESS! YESSSSS! GIVE IN TO YOUR EMACS SIDE!!!"

Google Search really sucks these days. I can't find any images of Richard M. Stallman as a Sith lord, even though I'm sure vi fans have made several edits by now. ...It's been a while.

vim -> emacs

Oops, all vim!

This would be funnier if it were emacs since that's the one that has a metric ton of plugins for all of these

I much prefer handwriting in shorthand, scanning it in, running it through OCR, and cat to a file.

This would make more sense with Emacs /ducks

One night there was a storm, and Master Wq’s house collapsed. The next morning he began to build it again using his old tools. His novice came to help him, and they built for a while and were making good progress. As they worked, the novice began to tell Master Wq of his latest accomplishments.

“Master, I have developed a wonderful Vim script to give all sorts of useful information about a document. It counts the words, the sentences, the paragraphs, and even tells you what kind of document it is using the syntax highlighting rules. I use it in my pipelines all the time. It is a thing of beauty, and I am very proud. Truly, Vim is the greatest tool!”

Master Wq did not reply. Thinking he had unwittingly angered his master, the novice fell silent and continued his work.

The novice finished aligning two beams and had positioned a nail ready for beating into the wood, but found the hammer was out of reach.

“Would you pass me the hammer, master?”

Master Wq handed the novice a saw.

At once, the novice was enlightened.
