I added the „category:Text Editor“ page to achieve what I originally wanted: Readers should see the possibilities and decide what is right for them.

:According to the stackoverflow survey in 2023, vim is still more popular: https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#section-most-popular-technologies-integrated-development-environment

:I would expect Nix users to be a bit different in adoption because they were also early adopter in other areas like Wayland/Pipewire vs X11/Pulseaudio. [[User:Mic92|Mic92]] ([[User talk:Mic92|talk]]) 08:18, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

== Remove reference to blog post? ==

"Note: To get a general overview about how to set up your vim in nix, refer to [https://www.mpscholten.de/nixos/2016/04/11/setting-up-vim-on-nixos.html mpscholten's blog]"

However, what it describes (vim_configurable) is now outdated.

Should we just remove it? [[User:Styx6198|Styx6198]] ([[User talk:Styx6198|talk]]) 21:48, 11 November 2025 (UTC)
