These people keep bringing up “mArKeT sHaRE”

  1. Linux is free. How would it get market share?
  2. It’s quite difficult to get an accurate “market share” since user-agents can be faked.

EDIT: I wonder if Microsoft are making anti-Linux accounts to try and hamper Linux.

    VSCode simps are the worst. Like the thing has built in telemetry that’s impossible to turn off completely, is a bloated electron mess, and M$ apologists refuse to learn vim or emacs or any number of fast code editors.

      I don’t think it’s fair to compare something like VSCode to vim and emacs. There’s a wide range in between, including FOSS tools. I can understand not jumping to something with a learning curve like vim, I’m more annoyed they don’t learn one of the super accessible GUI alternatives!

      I want to learn vim instead and have tried multiple times, but every time, my executive function says no and I end up going back

        Vimtutor comrade, and this page.

        Then force yourself to use it for just a week, and you’ll immediately start to develop muscle memory and not have to think about what you’re doing.

        There’s also kate and sublime text, but vim is so powerful, that after you get used to it, there’s no going back.
