Post #2773855

@fay59@tech.lgbt So I use both GUI editors and vi. For quick and simple (and most of the time small) stuff, it is faster to use vi (for me). For an example most of my GCC testcases are almost all written via vi. Creating a new file is easier using vi rather than a GUI; especially copying the file into the correct location afterwards and having to edit it after testing it (`make check-gcc RUNTESTFLAGS=...`). Larger changes and changes which I have to think about I use an editor with a GUI (notepad++). I also use vi to read code in many cases more than a GUI editor but that is because edit vs command view is more natural for that. But that is also if I was searching for something quickly. Rather than something which I need to keep in view for a lot longer and then I use notepad++. For me I use both for different purposes and for different lengths. I won't leave open a vi session for hours on end while I will leave open a few notepad++ sessions for days on end. (yes I use screen too).
