@johan@social.terbeest.org @reillypascal@hachyderm.io please don't misunderstand, I wasn't accusing you of anything and I can completely understand why that would be the first way to put it (I've done it before myself, after all) That aside, it's just... for 30 years Vim has been one of those pieces of software that just doesn't change; bugs got fixed where needed, occasionally there would be a new thing to use in Vimscript, Vim8 also added a terminal which is really nice, but otherwise nothing about it ever changed; it was an editor which you could rely on to be consistent and, well, reliable. It *just worked* and you knew that would be the case on any day of the week whenever you updated your system and even if you were building it from git master. And in a world where people leave their computers running unattended to run something then come back to see the login screen because an update was installed automatically and it turns out that update broke a bunch of shit, having something like Vim was valuable - a reminder this insanity isn't the only way - because few pieces of software like it exist anymore. And now suddenly all of that is thrown away in favour of "here's what Claude thinks about this PR; looks like it needs some work"
