One thing is if you tried out different things and decide to use whatever tools you like, the other thing is seeing people use, eg. vim and just copying it without understanding why. The reason this perplexes me is that so many people end up with a working but ineffective workflow, for no real reason.
- Agentlien 5y agoI know precisely what you mean. I've seen a few posts from people about how they finally transitioned away from Vim (or C++, or ...) after many months and then detail a long list of its flaws, all of which showcasing that they did not try to actually learn Vim, but rather try to work around it being Vim. It's a bit different from other tools and if it's not your cup of tea that's perfectly understandable. But why would you torture yourself like that if you're not willing to give it a fair chance? Edit: there are of course also those who do give it a shot, do learn the Vim way™, and then conclude it's not for them. That's great, I have no problem with that.
