Interesting. I generally use IDEs Pycharm or Eclipse, or VSCode depending on the language. Do you think I would gain a lot from learning VIM?
- auggierose 6y agoNo. It's like when somebody wants to learn how to fly, people tell them first to learn how to run really fast.
- alboy 6y agoNowadays Vim isn't just Vim the text editor but rather a specification for text manipulation. All of the popular IDEs have Vim plugins and the benefits of learning both are perfectly additive.
- umanwizard 6y agoI think your timeline is inverted. vi-style text manipulation has been a thing long before Vim.
- alboy 6y agoI don't think I've claimed otherwise? Still, in my timeline those plugins aren't called IdeaEd or VsEm.
