okay so cream is literally a set of macros for the iconic, beloved, slightly terrifying VIM editor, and what it does is make the whole thing a lot more intuitive to beginners π«Ά
Cream is for you if you're the kind of user who wants all the amazing VIM features but has no idea how to actually control them yet. no shame. we've all been there. it's a journey π
β οΈ real talk bestie: due to limitation to text consoles/terminals, cream can only run in X11. that's just how it is π

vim(1), it's the whole vibe)
