Right, but coding is just one specific use of vim. Vim is a tool for a world where everything is a text file, eg: - focused mode essay writing - editing ~/.config/thing.json - formatting a shopping list - cleaning up scanned text from a PDF into markdown - opening an encrypted password file and adding your home insurance renewal details - writing up notes on a job contract ...and that’s just two hours into my day. Vim is general purpose. IDE usage isn’t mutually exclusive. When I need API aware typeaheads then I also reach for REPL.it.
