Ah, sad times... 😞 vim has been my editor of choice for comfortably over 2 decades. Like most folks coming into Unix programming I tried quite a few editors - bare bones vi at first, pico/nano, emacs, and a few "gui" ones... but vim is where I found my home and we've got along well for quite some time.
It's usually the first package I install on a fresh Linux install (sometimes second after ssh server.)
