For me I'd like there to be some "convention over configuration" package for Vim, especially with some modern shortcuts. I don't have Vim muscle memory so the aged shortcuts don't really offer anything for me. For example 0 goes to the beginning of the line, while ^ goes to the first character in the line. Why can't 0 be the "default" first character shortcut? Anyways I know there is a lot of Vim veteran out there that wouldn't want to use a package like this, and already have their own shortcuts made through years of configuration. It's just that there are hundreds of papercuts that would take years upon years for me to figure out and solve, instead of just learning. I'll just continue to use Sublime...

I kind of felt the same way about Vim. I was very happy with Sublime. I still am and most of what I've done with Vim is replicate the functionality from ST. If you're not curious enough to dive in full time then stay with ST. I had the following reasons for switching: * it's open source * even if it is just 1-2% improvement that's a benefit you'll have every day for years - there's no guarantee but I wanted to see if it does help * as it's a command line tool it feels like you're closer to your code * you obviously get benefits in your SSH sessions * it does kind of feel like wearing a tailored suit, you set it up exactly the way you want it * I should be able to do everything that I could do in ST in Vim but I don't think it's the other way round
