Is this supposed to be funnier than the exiting vim jokes?

I do not get these exiting vim memes. I've been using vim for over 20 years and it was maybe difficult to remember for the first week, tops.

I have not. But since I learned vi on Linux and Unix, it was using ex as it's 'personality'. ed is not something I have dug into.

Quick search, it appears as though ed is a precursor to sed, which I use all the time. Both of which have a similar context and toolset to ex used in vim.

When i first started using linux and used vim i thought "wow this sucks but i guess its all i got for now"

Little did i know that Nano exists. Never again vim.

Never again.

Did you know nano supports syntax highlighting? For some reason it wasn't enabled by default on my first few linuxes. I don't know if it is nowadays.
