Addendum: When you watch somebody working with Vim, and he looks so fast... consider that it's probably you hearing and seeing the massive stream of ^D^D^Djjjjjj3yykkkkkkkkp he has to type to find a chunk of text, yank it, and move it a few lines up. And that was me being generous, assuming he needs to cut 3 entire lines, not parts of a line. Working with the mouse looks slow because it's just a few clicks and maybe a keystroke or two.

- Someone 15y ago…with thinking pauses a) figuring out what to search for: /fo or /foo or even /foo\. and b) for checking that your idea about the search term was correct. Repeat for the search for 'bar' I am not claiming that this isn't faster for you or in general, but Tog has/had data to defend his claims, and data that that introspection can be unreliable in judging task duration. All you (and I) give are anecdotes.
- BasDirks 15y agono for the thinking pauses: _thinking in code_ is an advantage.
