It's fine. Super flexible platform for any development environment. I'd take it over Notepad++.

I don't like having to unplug my computer to exit the IDE. Takes a while and I often lose my changes.

I find it quicker to turn off the power through the breaker box. It's faster so you can get back to working sooner.

Pro tip: Press Esc, then type :w which means "write" to save the changes, and then unplug the computer and reboot.

Perfect! You're a data saver.

That's the oldest joke in the book. Everybody knows you don't need to unplug your computer, you can run "sudo reboot" from within vim just fine!

!sudo shutdown -r now. Or just :x or ZZ, but I guess those don’t fit the motif of this very tired silly joke.
