You used the wrong icon. It should be emacs
Yeah, emacs makes way more sense for this one
The only thing emacs is missing is a text editor
That actually made me laugh out loud. Well done
oh man. all the old jokes are new again. shit, am i basically a dad now?
Vi vs EMACS jokes are well within grandpa territory now. Sorry.
I saw that reply and figured I’d just let the whippersnappers enjoy themselves 😅
it’s a healthy sign of a community when dad jokes enter the cultural milieu as something that’s passed from generation to generation. we inherited these jokes, handed them down, and someday they’ll be handed down again
Grandpa, will you tell me the story about the black and orange computer screens please?
Next thing you know people aren’t going to know that EMACS stands for Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping. Or why that’s funny.
Today I learned
Well, seeing as I’m more than a decade younger than emacs… I guess so?
That’s why evil-mode exists
The only thing emacs is missing is a text editor
How dare you. I’m sending the church of emacs after your ass.
Free software song starts playing
Surely someone has used the built-in Lisp interpreter to emulate a feature exact
nano.Just open the file in Vim?
C-x M-c M-butterfly
And the only thing preventing us mortals from having such power is the lack of a
butterflykey on our keyboards
yea, emacs even has a doctor
Why do you say that?
M-x doctor
In emacs, ESC then x then type doctor, I remember this from 30 years ago
Is it because you say “I remember this from 30 years ago” that emacs has a doctor?
Is it possible to downvote a comment twice?
Upvote it first.
Genius!
I am a firm believer of (neo)vim being the pinnacle of editing. My workdays start with vim and end with vim. But vim is not the everything app, which the e in emacs probably stands for.
HOWEVER, there are vim plugins for almost everything, which is pretty cool. This point goes to you, emacs rivals. Let’s keep it between us and not the vs code or IDE weirdos
Only acceptable in eVil form
Doom Emacs for those who have truly ascended.
Everyone should Doom themselves
Neovim*
nvim
I don’t even agree with the meme and I hate this comment.
How the fuck did you beat me to it and get so many up votes so fast
It should be Neovim and Lua. Nobody should be subjected to the curse and torment of writing Elisp.
Sounds like vim is aspiring to be Emacs.
shots fired
You can tell it’s legit, because it says Vi.
The war is still ongoing. Many of us never figured out how to quit Vi.
only because once you start using vim, you can’t stop. why do you think people make full on operating systems within vim?
because they can’t leave.
This will free you
:q!I’ve been stuck in vim for years, and everyone just brings up this “:q!” emoticon to mock me.
rude
You need to press
Escapetwice, first.
Then pass on the rudeness tovim. It will know
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?
open it, use it. keep using it because you can’t close it
Shit, I’ve been scrubbing the bathroom for 10hours, can’t close Vim
what sort of honoric is et al, does it make you plural?
no no McS. et al., PhD is mf actual family name. Trying a bit too hard to get a great academic career.
In case you’re not being sarcastic, et al is a shortening that means “among others” - usually authors of academic papers are clubbed together like this. In this context it is more like, “among other educational qualifications”
While that does make sense, I think I’ll stick to thinking they’re plural.
EMACS CURED MY AUTISM!
in only + / - bilions of years!
For those who haven’t seen this amazing interview:
Emacs!
-> Vim
-> nano
-> Microsoft edit 1.0 for Linux
Heh, looks like Microsoft employed someone and just let them do whatever they wanted. So they fucked around and made a text editor in Rust. They even have an anime avatar on github. Definitely doesn’t smell like a microsoft project but hey… if a company feeds you, you gotta put their name on your project.
Wait what oh gods no
Well I think this has been too much Internet for me today
-> micro
It’s a great OS it’s just lacking a decent text editor.
I used to spend hours trying to get the image on the right page. Now i use Org-mode LaTeX, and just accept that it’s impossible.
🦶
GNOME -> Vim
Can emacs really do all of this?
Probably… so long as Emacs can be used to open up Vim. :-P
Lmao y’all are degenerates.
It probably can somehow
Theres an emacs map plugin, and a webkit browser, and org mode is basically notes + calendar, you can edit and copy remote files with tramp mode. Theres also an emacs plugin for launching steam games.
Emacs comes with a plugin called “doctor” which is a rudimentary text ai from the 90s
One time I wanted to edit a binary file and I found out emacs comes with a hex editor
Man y’all really are trying to get me to try emacs.
Probably. I recently installed a bunch of packages so now I use emacs to check my RSS feeds, look up the current word’s definition or synonyms, browse Gopher and Gemini sites, check my email … I told myself I was doing it just for fun to see how much truth there was to the whole “emacs is a great operating system” joke but I genuinely love how handy it all is and I’m worried I’m going to keep falling in even deeper. A part of me does dislike not using purpose built programs for each of those functions (“do one thing and do it well”), but it’s been a fun experiment so far
Huh.
Well godamnit. I gotta check it out now. I’ll be right back, I swear
Mom: we have Google Maps at home
Google Maps at home: Vim
vim -> gnu emacs
emacs -> back to vim
vim -> back to emacs
emacs -> neovim
Full enlightenment achieved
neovim -> helix
enlightenment upgraded
eda Ascended .Low key I might need to try helix
No plugins though is kind of a dealbreaker
This feels like a meme a vim user would make about emacs being bloated
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.
That’s not gibberish, those are hilarious jokes using sophisticated vim commands. Here’s another, which you have no hope of understanding, but vim users will love:

Vim is a sorry excuse of Emacs. Which is the editor made in and for the language of God, Lisp
“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.
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
Vim too. The difference is that emacs cultivates and promotes its omnitool capabilities, while vim hides its equally omnipotent plugins shamefully in https://www.vim.org/scripts/
Vi(rgi)m hides its shamefully impotent plugins in the face of ChadMacs
