You get over it fast. 1. You can bind save to any key combo you want. I personally use <leader>w. I find it more ergonomic, fast, and portable than command-s.

You get over it fast. 1. You can bind save to any key combo you want. I personally use <leader>w. I find it more ergonomic, fast, and portable than command-s. 2. Every action in vim reads like a little story. You start to speak the stories to yourself. For example: Select the entire line (V), move to the end of the line ($), move to the matching end brace (%), delete (d) 3. Then you realize you can store those stories into a macro and execute them ad hoc, and the world becomes amazing. The things you learn are cumulative. You begin to expect the pattern to continue and more often than not it does.
