what sort of honoric is et al, does it make you plural?
no no McS. et al., PhD is mf actual family name. Trying a bit too hard to get a great academic career.
In case you're not being sarcastic, et al is a shortening that means "among others" - usually authors of academic papers are clubbed together like this. In this context it is more like, "among other educational qualifications"
While that does make sense, I think I'll stick to thinking they're plural.

Is this navigation?
This would be more believable with eMacs tbh
This would make more sense with Emacs /ducks
Now I Declare The Start of The Holy EDITOR WAR!!!!
NGL this was my first thought, and I don't even use Emacs!

This feels like a meme a vim user would make about emacs being bloated
Most powerful "text editor" you can imagine inside a command line interface. It has unlimited super wild keyboard shortcuts and people on the internet make fun about it, that the only way to exit vim is by turning off the machine, because they don't know the shortcut.
Vim is a sorry excuse of Emacs. Which is the editor made in and for the language of God, Lisp
One night there was a storm, and Master Wqβs house collapsed. The next morning he began to build it again using his old tools. His novice came to help him, and they built for a while and were making good progress. As they worked, the novice began to tell Master Wq of his latest accomplishments.
βMaster, I have developed a wonderful Vim script to give all sorts of useful information about a document. It counts the words, the sentences, the paragraphs, and even tells you what kind of document it is using the syntax highlighting rules. I use it in my pipelines all the time. It is a thing of beauty, and I am very proud. Truly, Vim is the greatest tool!β
Master Wq did not reply. Thinking he had unwittingly angered his master, the novice fell silent and continued his work.
The novice finished aligning two beams and had positioned a nail ready for beating into the wood, but found the hammer was out of reach.
βWould you pass me the hammer, master?β
Master Wq handed the novice a saw.
At once, the novice was enlightened.
"YESS! YESSSSS! GIVE IN TO YOUR EMACS SIDE!!!"
Google Search really sucks these days. I can't find any images of Richard M. Stallman as a Sith lord, even though I'm sure vi fans have made several edits by now. ...It's been a while.
This would be funnier if it were emacs since that's the one that has a metric ton of plugins for all of these

You surely mean Emacs, no?
He tried to, but couldn't enter edit mode to type it out
I much prefer handwriting in shorthand, scanning it in, running it through OCR, and cat to a file.

If you use Vim you'll never use any other software
I would respond.. but I canβt figure out how to exit Vim

The problem with using Vim is that you have to learn Vim, but early in my career I was in single-ecosystem shops that all used IDE's for whatever tech (Microsoft= Visual Studio, Java = Eclipse / NetBeans, PHP = Sublime Text, arguably not an IDE)
By the time I got to the point in my career where I got to choose the tooling, VSCode was already a thing and it has an extension for anything you can think of.
So I never had to learn Vim, and now it's in the too-hard basket, and VSCode is ubiquitous and works surprisingly well

That silly program can't trick me! I used Vim last year and I'm totally able to use other programs!
...I just have to use Vim also at all times!

Vim -> Emacs
Gotta run vim under emacs eshell
Perfection
Honestly it's kinda true except for Photos and Maps. Everything that is not fundamentally visual by nature can pretty efficiently be done with Vim. It truly excels at manipulating and navigating through text.
