It’s a specialist tool. You can say the same thing about any specialist tool. Why should CNC machine tools exist if they’re so hard to use and take a lot of training and are dangerous in the hands of untrained people?

Reject CNC machines, return to rock!

The CNC machine seems to be significantly easier to turn off when you’re done with it, though. Judging from the memes, anyway - I’ve never had to use vim, thankfully.

ESC

then

:wq

Write quit

:q!

Force quit (no save)

I don't even use vim, other than for commit messages lol

You can also use :x to write and quit, from memory.

It’s very heavily overstated how difficult it is to exit VI.

I want to see copilot directly control a big cnc machine. Might be entertaining.
