Yes indeed, you know that (and I, too). But someone, who is new to Linux? Or to computers in general? >> I can't understand the "missionary zeal" that some people bring into the >> field for Nano.

The learning curve with vim is probably steeper. But if you are maintaining one or more servers, vim has some powerful features that make life easier. As an example vimdiff to analyse changes in config files after an update. Or vim’s powerful reg.ex feature or sorting. It might make sense to choose different defaults for different editions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
