$15 for lifetime access... rubs chin... I'm old. Would you take $5 as my life is 2/3 gone?

Even though, admit it... If the course is really good, the extra $10 are nothing compared to the several hours of frustration that you could save.

  Or save all frustration and just don’t use vim ;-)

    If you think vim is frustrating for a beginner, you have no idea what it feels like to edit text in non-vim for a half-assed vim user. Really, I don’t master vim after >1decade, but that’s not necessary.

      Pair programming is a real pain for me when most of my colleagues just don’t use Vim.

    I've used vim for many years now. It is true, learning vim makes it very frustrating when you find yourself having to use another editor. Luckily, vim is pretty much everywhere so those situations are rare.

      I find that vim really shines in editing text on touch screens with on-screen keyboards. I can do complicated commands without doing too much typing out digging through menus or using ctrl alt whatever keys.

        What devices with on-screen keyboards are you running vim in?

        Just my cellphone.

    irrational indeed :-)

    It seems one of these vim tutorials comes up every 6 months or so, and the one thing they're all missing is a convincing explanation of why someone should learn all the esoteric incantations of a 30-year old text editor.

      it's nice not having to constantly lift my hand to use the mouse when i'm just looking through files and making small changes. i can keep my hands on the keyboard for up to an hour and get stuff done, so long as the task at hand only requires a command line interface and a text editor.

No offence to OP intended at all, but as these things often go, you're paying for the lifetime of the site, not your own.
