I really like how Vim is set up, even if I don't personally use the home row stuff. I just like the stability of the interface, its simplicity, and performance especially. I used to get really obsessed with editor stuff, then I realized I was wasting my time and that Vim was already installed on every machine - no additional install ever needed to set up the environment. I usually only ever add one or two lines to my vimrc (jj -> Esc). I like that it just works.
If I ever need to do refactoring I'll download CLion and get the engine running and fans spinning. But I do more debugging and reading code than refactoring it.
- ulisesrmzroche 6y agoBut just installing VSCode is simple too and in practice, it’s universal. I feel like people are self handicapping, specifically because the bottleneck in development is understanding, and not input speed. If I was to say what do I like about Vim is the modal interface, and really because to me if feels right, I cant say that it’s objectively better
