When I switched to Vim, I was at 1/3 of my usual productivity for the first week, and I think at about 1/2 for the first month - author is completely true about that. However, since then, I've been so much more productive over next 7 years that it had definetly been a good decision.
And I don't even use Vim now! Visual Studio, VS Code, all JetBrain editors have competent vim emulation plugins, so the core of my ehnanced productivity, the core and most important feature of Vim, is still paying off.
I just wish I had a spare year to learn and configure Emacs. (Yes, I have tried Spacemacs and other options, many times, and it was so confusing every time that I only believe in learning Emacs from absolute basics withut any plugins now).
- nineteen999 7y agoWait, VS/Code both have vi emulation plugins? I wish I knew this a couple of years ago ...
- golergka 7y agoAny modern editor with a decent plugin ecosystem has one, and while VS/Code is not ideal, it's certainly workable.
- nineteen999 7y agoGood to know, thankyou. I usually only use VS on Windows for C++ with Unreal Engine, usually I'm a Linux/BSD minimalist who uses vim. I wonder how well the vi plugin for VS works alongside Visual Assist X, which is the only plugin I currently use for VS. I'll have to give it a shot when I get some time.
- golergka 7y agoNever used Virtual Assist X, but the plugin for VS (not VS Code, just the good old VS) is one of the best Vim plugins out there.
