I'm trying out Obsidian for taking notes, and this made me laugh.
Funny, but unironically a pretty good idea.

Why would I want to exit vim?
nano crew where you at
I like nano because it has worked any time I needed it. I don't dislike nano because I'm not good enough at Linux to have ever run into its limitations
I never get the need to use vim and nano exists.
Vim really is an IDE, not a text editor. It's usable as an editor but overkill.
Nano serves a difference purpose. It's like telling someone on a bike that a mustang is better.
Vim is absolutely not an IDE. It has no integrations with any language. It's just a powerful text editor. You can add language plugins and configure it to be an IDE.
It's very easy to terminate vim. I just use the power button.
Uh... so u guys don't change the PC each time that's cool I would definitely try that ...
If anyone needs the command: :q!
If you want the computer to ask if you're sure: :q
If you want to save: :wq
A lot of my personal dislike for VIM would be done away with if it just had a helpful common keys cheat sheet (basic cursor navigation, edit mode, exit with and without saving, etc) at the bottom of the editor window like Nano does.
Really, I'd just recommend using nano then. It's installed basically anywhere you can find vim and works perfectly fine as a text editor! To use vim effectively it has a learning curve no matter what, so it's not necessarily meant for everyone.
I understand where you're coming from, but as a frequent user of vim I'd much rather have the additional line of text.
It should be default on, with a setting to turn it off for power users
They could even have one of the commands on the cheatsheet be to hide it, so anyone who doesn't want it will immediately see how to turn it off.
