Everyone has their own workflow preferences and some will prefer using a lot of custom abstractions in their work environment. Others may apply a very minimal set of customizations (if they bother at all).
I believe it's better to allow people to choose how they configure their editor rather than making that decision for them.
- adrianratnapala 9y agoBut it would be better if the default configuration was good enough for most people. Instead, Vim has a very spartan default configuration. There are good historical reasons for this. But it is a sad history, because it means, most long-time users end up with fairly heavy customisation. And those customisations will routinely be different from everyone else's set up, not just when they want to enact some personal preference.
