      A text editor that doesn’t need a tutor because the interface is intuitive enough that someone who has been using text editors (as a concept) for years can more or less instantly pick it up and start working without needing a tutorial to simply edit a config file.

      it even has a tutor

      Yeah, people are just lazy. I remember when I invented a new login screen and was told it was “difficult”, “confusing” and “took some getting used to”.

      It even came with a free 100-page manual and a 4-hour master class. Some people, I tell you!

      ^This is meant more as a joke than an actual critique, even if it kind of reflects my thoughts. But ultimatly, I thought it was a funny bit.^

      A text editor that doesn’t assume that the keys on my keyboard are in the same order as yours.

        I remember looking up how to use Colemak with vim, and the advice was:

        • Change the mappings so the position is the same, but it has the downside that every tutorial won’t match.
        • Keep the mappings and do awkward stretches for common functions like up and down.

        So I just gave up and moved on.

      One that’s intuitive and doesn’t require a cheat sheet or what I like to call fingular contortionism discovery.
