I think more than anything, you've convinced me that I'm probably never switching to Vim. I've really considered it because a lot of people I've worked with use it and claim it makes them much more productive, but I've been pretty productive in my IDE and I've been doing all those multiple selection and "scripting" type things in Sublime and IntelliJ for years.
- dpc_pw 6y agoBefore 3 yeas of kakoune, I did like 20 years of Vim. IMO, typing is less than 0.1% of SWE, so even if you can get 2x typing productivity with Vim it will still not amount to any substantial overall productivity benefit. If IDE works for you and you enjoy it, stick with it. I enjoy modal editing (Vim/kak) because it feels good. I don't have to move my hands from the home row and I'm a damn impatient person, so that fast editing just makes me feel a little better about "waiting for IO".
