It’s so sad that these people don’t acknowledge the innate superiority of vi. All other text editors pale before it. Especially emacs.

(trying to start a flame war ;-)

Stuff like this scares people away from linux. There are plenty of gui text editors for linux. Mousepad and leafpad are two that are equivalent to notepad but unlike notepad, they can be used to write code too.

Ping good article. Nice review. It has been a while since I work with Linux. I used Linux while in collage for C/C++ classes.

I am starting to get back into Linux since Microsoft release WSL and Docker. I am Exploring containers on Linux servers to host ASP.net web application.

Linux GUI apps coming to Windows 10 WSL along with GPU access

Never used 'nano' until using raspberry pi's. Now I use it all the time, even on this Fedora system [just updated to v 32], for editing small config files. When first starting Linux, RedHat 5.x, I was using emacs or vi, but that seemed overkill for editing small files.
Linux is all I use here at home (the wife still uses Windows 7). Fedora Mate Compiz spin on this big box, and raspbian - now Buster - with Compiz on the raspberry pi 4's.
Not being a gamer, no reason to use Windows. Have to use Windows 10 at work, but it's nowhere nearly as user friendly for me. For instance, using Caja file browser on Linux, I can have two folders open side-by-side in a single window, simplifying copying/moving files between machines. Similar for using Konsole for terminal/command line work, with multiple tabs available. Linux works the way I think.
That's my story. Have been using Linux as my primary home system for nearly twenty years.

Time to start the religious war - when going minimal it's vi or nothing! ;-)

Then again don't listen to me, I'm continuing my journey into penguin inspired madness... Not satisfied with wandering around the Debian family tree for years and a half dozen or so distros I'm now experimenting with an Arch based distro...

I guess when I start building and packaging my own from source I'll know my descent into madness is complete.

This is like going back to the stone age.

China uses Linux almost exclusively now.

If you use Linux, you are helping the ChiComs and their releases of bioweapons to the world.

Linux users are traitors to America.

i use editpad lite (the free version of editpad) along with pirated versions of the RegexMagic and RegexBuddy plugins ...
