Those who do not know *vim* seemed doom to reinvent it, badly. And promote other (lesser) alternatives, polluting our world's shared infosphere and social media feeds

I have opinions on things, yes. But backed by several decades of hands-on experience, experiments, trial and error. ha

I see.  So it's not that vim is a bad emulator of vi, it's just that outside of emulating vi it doesn't have much to show for itself.  Gotcha.

I'm repeatedly amazed by folks who reach for things like Microsoft Word or Google Docs first (or even OpenOffice, or the like), rather than "vi foo.txt"

Because reading, writing and modifying text has been a Solved Problem on computers for many decades now. and its hard to beat vi/vim (or the like) in terms of price, speed, efficiency, clarity, workflow composability and automation, rights preservation, privacy, security, offline-first/friendly, being immune from dark patterns like having your text being fed into LLM "training" (plagiarism and IP theft) ingest pipelines etc.

So really it comes down to my view that #Vim is emulating #Vi, and so is #Emacs.

If you then look at the infrastructure around that,
Emacs is much more capable and less limiting in what you can do. That everything is a buffer means that it's buffer management is amazing.
The modes and key-bindings are awesome and it's all
pleasantly programmable in lisp.

Vi is a great editor, but there isn't much to it. It's a lightweight editor that works well. I think people confuse what is emulating Vi versus what is the application surrounding the emulator.

Emacs has, Evil, Viper, Meow, Boon and Meep modal editors. That says something too.

You’re right — pure #Unix minimalism couldn’t survive once systems became interactive and persistent. Early Unix assumed short-lived processes and text as shared state.
Once #editors became programmable and long-running, that boundary blurred. #Vi/#Neovim kept the file-centric DNA; #Emacs internalized it. Both descend from Unix, just different branches of its evolution.

@Zenie

I've been meaning to ask you:  why do you consider vim to be a poor vi?  And why is Evil (if I've remembered the right mode) better?

(I don't have any opinions about this; I'm just interested)

I did want to come back to my points that few actually follow the pure unix way any more, and that Vim isn't a small program by Unix standards.

As an indication(*), I've started terminal vim, neovim, and emacs -nw -Q processes, and KDE's system monitor reports the following:

nvim      3.0 MiB
vim      11.9 MiB
emacs 40.3 MiB

All of these are large or worse compared with original unix tools.  I think McIlroy of 1978 would be horrified by all of them. Classic vi was 160kB or so later in its life.   Bill Joy described ex as 'very large' in 1979.  

They also all have scripting abilities and many packages of extensions available (neovim less so it seems, but it's also newer)  None of them are really small, narrowly focused, or minimalistic by the standards of Unix in its first decade.

The classic Unix programming workflow as I understand it was to fire up an editor, edit, exit, recompile and retest.  

I think the numbers of people who do that today are small. I think people using the vi family also fire up their editor and leave it running, and often controlling things from the editor.  

(e.g. #^https://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/j33ow1/what_is_your_vim_workflow_like/  )

Also, once you've got a decent scripting language, you've already taken one step on the emacs path.  

So compared with classic Unix ideas, they're all alike.  They're all large, they're all scriptable, they all have libraries of plugins, and they all enable if not promote a form of use where you live in the editor, not the shell.  The only real difference is that the vi-family communities haven't gone as far as writing extensions —but that's cultural, the software itself allows for this.

#unix #vim #vi #emacs

(*) what would be a fair comparison?  There seem to be many possibilities. If one is trying to get the smallest possible memory footprint and is prepared to work for it, of course the size of emacs could be reduced, perhaps substantially.  

But if we're less concerned with individual binaries and more 'how much do we need to get equivalent functionality' then we'd have to look at vim + mutt + tmux + fish + lynx + ...
