    I shouldn’t really have to look up the instruction manual of a text editor to do a simple action like close the program. Every single other text editor I’ve ever used was intuitive enough to get started right away, going back to 1989.

      If it’s not intuitive enough then don’t use it and don’t open it. You can always close with Ctrl+z and then kill it. Or close a terminal window like any other intuitive editor.

      Well, it works well for some people.

      Once you get used to it, it can be a dang powerful tool. For people doing a lot of config-wrangling on the CLI (i.e. admins working a lot ovet SSH), overcoming the learning curve will pay dividends.

      If you’re working mostly locally and in a GUI environment environment, it’s probably not worth it - there’s a reason most devs use more specialized IDE’s.
