Even for those who started their journey into VCSs with Git. You mean the "lots" as in "one, i.e. rebase"? Well, git rebase is a good example for things which exist in Git as a workaround for a conceptual disadvantage. It would not even need a "rebase" command if it adopted Darcs's patch strategy.

See, one of the problems with Git is that I’d actually need to learn it, because its command-line interface is incoherent and confusing at best, with no overall technical advantage over most other VCSs.

Well, knowing other VCSs is a requirement for participating in my projects.

I still prefer SCCS and SVN over Git. Thank you.

Although I can not confirm this, I feel the urge to remind everyone that, if your configuration files break your editor, it's not your editor that is "incompatible".

I would imagine that an additional (optional) selection “default editor/shell/pager” with an implicit package installation could make sense. Yet, how many editors would the FreeBSD team have to support then?

Also, there are still editors which mislabeled snarfing as “copy”.

It is not the best of ideas to replicate system commands like sed, tee and others in a text editor. If I will ever be bored enough to write my own text editor, it will not implement any common sed features.

I use pagers to view man pages, not text editors.

If you need to "find" something, your file needs a better structure.

There are various "micro" Emacsen.

A good editor needs three commands: - Open - Save - Exit

I have upgraded to sam and Emacs.

It is not notably harder to learn vi than to learn FreeBSD. It took me about two hours to understand the basics.

Sounds like a CUA editor would be a much better idea.

I’ll come with The Gun.

It is.

Don’t you see a hypothetical problem with the fact that 2021 software is even slower on 2021 computers than 80s software was on 80s computers, despite not having much more features?

Does this forum’s software even allow polls with more than 300 options?
