In your first comment, you said it "seems weird" that Julia doesn't like Vi-mode.

In this comment, you quote Julia talking about Emacs-mode. Which doesn't really follow on from your first comment.




Thanks. I appreciate your civility.

The lack of clarity is my fault.

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.


Ah, this reply does indeed make it clearer what you were saying :)

Whether I agree with what you were saying is a different matter (:p) but at least it makes more sense now!
