> using vim are more common in language communities where people feel insecure about their claim to technical status What about us greybeards who just feel naked without vi/vim? I've ended up (due to market demand) in the frontend world, but I still use vim because I feel horribly unproductive plodding around with a mouse and arrow keys in Visual Studio or what have you. Yes, given a few weeks I could learn the shortcuts and be more productive, but I can't imagine I'd ever reach my vim level of productivity (same applies to emacs users as to vim users, I'm sure). So why put myself through that? Just something to keep in mind. Many of us use vim because that's what we're used to. And to be fair to the younger developers, some of them see how productive vim users are in navigating a document and make the switch. Nothing to do with "signaling".
