So, exporting 73Kb ODS document (several sheets with one small table on each one of them) into XML in #LibreCalc results in 439Mb file.
#Vim basically dies on this file. #Emacs opens it instantly. I can even navigate it freely and syntax highlighting works. Although it doesn't help much.
Here's a catch:

me@desktop:~/temp$ wc -l file.xml
1 file.xml

It's a 439 Mb long line.
I have no idea what's wrong with LibreCalc.

#VSCode has gotten so bad I'm going to have to learn #Vim

Dumb #Vim trick: I knew that I wanted to jump about ¾ of the way into my file, but didn't want to page down a whole lot from the top of the document, nor did I want to jump to the bottom and page up a bunch.

Vim lets you type a number and the "%" to jump to a particular percentage line of the file. So to jump to my target, I typed

75%

and bang, landed within a couple lines of my desired destination. To learn more:

:help N%

One of the advantages of using vim is that you can finish typing most of your rants with :q!
... and loop as many times needed /s

Stack Overflow Survey 2025, Developer tools, Category IDE: #emacs isnt even listed 😪 But #vim is on place 5. Even newcomer #zed seems to be more popular than #emacs.

It hurt.

I think I have to switch #Vim completion plugins soon. Choosing between nvim-cmp and vimcomplete, probably gonna go with nvim-cmp. This is gonna be like a whole Saturday afternoon project.

This is actually amazing.
