    noone there is learning

    Wrong. Dead wrong.

    In the email chain subsequent to this exchange Linus even addressed the fact that the contributor would be better off learning about kernel development by focusing on the removal of unnecessary code and clean up.

    No one jumps into kernel development knowing everything.

    Maintainers need to teach people, not just about the culture and ethos, but about best practices and Linus had taught people constantly.

    He has also learned a lot from others. To suggest otherwise is to think that Linus knew everything about kernel development back when he first began Linux development.

    This is bound to be an unpopular opinion here but I hate vim.

    Shortcuts in vim make no sense whatsoever. They’re not the fastest possible shortcuts nor are they intuitive.

    Sure it’s got useful features if you let the awful design brow beat you into memorising an absurd number of shortcuts that lack any form of logic.

    You could have a cheat sheet on another monitor but at that point why not have an editor that has a gui.
