Thankfully I was an EMACS guy in school. I loved the ability to split the screen in the Non-GUI OS and type without having to ask permission first.
I don't think anyone has to do development in the shell anymore, so I think Nano is more sane for editing config files.
Still, this is a fascinating story
@beforewisdom Not many have to develop in the shell anymore, but many choose to.
I've seen people from time to time open up scripts in the shell to do a quick fix, but I have never seen any developer spend all of their time there.
I have two applications open on my desktop most of the time: a terminal and a web browser.
I like doing 100% of my development in a shell. especially using my build tools. How can you automate building & testing your code otherwise?
@beforewisdom allow me to chime in and add my name to those who do 100% of their development in the shell
