Steam has always had a Linux Runtime for that exact reason.

It’s True, “We” Don’t Care About Accessibility on Linux in c/linux@programming.dev

I've always considered it to be such that the whole thing is simultaneously a joke and true (haha jk, unless?), or maybe just hyperbole. But I've avoided using it myself because clearly it gets misinterpreted way too frequently

Not as cursed as

print("eovdedn"[n%2::2])

Vim is built different in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

I don't fit into any of those categories.

Its obtuse, old, and doesn't have a lot of functionality of modern code editors

Obtuse? Yeah. The keyboard focus means natural discoverability is low. But I immediately preferred modal editing once I learned it.

Old? Eh, most people use Neovim nowadays and write plugins in lua. Even in OG Vim, Vim9script broke compatibility for a better dev experience.

Functionality? Out of the box, it is just a text editor. But only VSCode might have a more active plugin ecosystem. ALE has been a thing for ages if it's LSP support you're looking for.

It's not better, it's not worse, I'm not in any way superior for using it, but I love it for a reason.
