It's funny how people who know vim expect every other editor to have support for it's keybindings too, while I as a non vim user am expected to love and learn v

- dijit 6y agoNot entirely sure how true that is. I’m a heavy vim user and I love it, but that’s me. I work with people who can navigate codebased absurdly swiftly and debug things faster than I ever could, and they use visual studio keybindings. It’s all about knowing your tools; I’m a sysadmin so vim (Or, vi) has a high value for me as learning the keybindings makes me more powerful on my entire fleet. For developers though? Debugging and codebase navigation is significantly more valuable- you read more than you write.
- drewm1980 6y agoIf you can't learn to love vim keybindings, you're not going to love vim; they are the primary selling point of the editor. Once you learn them you will want them everywhere. It's about wanting the best parts of VIM and an IDE (I don't think that has been achieved though).
