$25?? When I can just use vimtutor?
- RobRivera 6y agoyou dont like, you don't buy. "you can tell its a market by the way it is; how neat is that?"
- aarondf 6y agoI was shocked by how cheap it was too. Very cool!
- robertlagrant 6y agoAh, that rare combination of someone who doesn't know vim, but does know of vimtutor. Let me get my butterfly net.
- CoffeePython 6y agoVim tutor is great :) I used it myself when I was learning
- gen220 6y agoYou should make a $25 tutorial on how to use vimtutor :) But in all seriousness, sometimes people just need to pay money for something to feel committed to learning. Also, some people dramatically prefer the format of a human talking to reading text. You also get insightful tangents, from listening to an expert give an intro, that are sometimes worth the price of admission themselves. I personally love to watch high performing programmers work, you learn so much just from the nonverbal parts, get workflow inspiration, etc.
- b0afc375b5 6y agoWhen I wanted to learn vim I started with https://vim-adventures.com/ https://vim-adventures.com/. But since only the first section was free I decided to suck it up and use vim tutor instead. Seriously just sit down and dedicate a week to typing solely in vim. It feels extremely weird at first, and you'll keep wanting to use the arrow keys. But after that you'll never want to go back to using non-vim mode editing again.
