I felt Julia was describing a problem that she was having for 15 years to do with editing on the CLI. Then she said "even though I’m a vim user I didn’t really like using it when I tried it."
To me, even still, it seems weird that there is a tool (vi-mode) that solves the problem she seemed to be describing earlier on. I am not denying that she "didn’t really like using it when I tried it".
Not sure that even with this reply I have cleared up my earlier confusion-causing comment. I shall endeavour to refrain from further nonsense in the future.
In this comment, you quote Julia talking about Emacs-mode. Which doesn't really follow on from your first comment.
