you need to master it though before it stops being a productivity hindrance if you have already mastered an IDE with first class support for your language.

- quickthrower2 9y agoThat's why I gave up on Vim at work vs Visual Studio. But it's my go to for Haskell projects. What I like best about vim is the startup speed and fewer reaches for the mouse. I do like using the mouse to select a large block of text to indent tho!
- caconym_ 9y agoI use Vim everywhere and if I want IDE stuff I use VSCode at home and IntelliJ IDEA at work but you can pry my Vim bindings from my cold dead hands regardless of the editor I'm using. Putting in the time to learn (it wasn't even that long until I was productive again, maybe one day of work) is one of the best decisions I ever made.
- scruple 9y agoVsVim is pretty decent if you're using Visual Studio. It gives you modal editing and support for a healthy subset of vim keybindings. I was doing some C#/.NET work a couple of years ago and VsVim was a lifesaver.
