RIP. I started using Vim on Slackware iirc. Haven’t stopped.
I checked out various other clones back in the day — vim was way better afaict.
PS: A major reason I use Vim rather than Emacs is that the arrow keys worked in Vim but not emacs. On Slackware. No I don’t use the ijkl keys to move in Vim. :) :) #blubvimmer
