Jokes aside, vim as PID 1 is just a bad idea.

Emacs on the other hand: https://github.com/emacs-os/el-init

That's a great idea from GitHub user el-sloppo and Claude.

To be fair, I’ve seen this done a long time before LLM slopped everything, but I think they ran emacs as PID2 in that variation.

Anyway, good luck doing it in vimscript.

Did you read the retrospective.md

AI;DR

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Then you obviously didn't read it.

[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes. That's literally what I said.

That settles it. Emacs is better than Vim
