Absolutely not. My problem with Vim is I pair program with Vim experts on a daily basis and am annoyed at their slowness while they are proudly using their gimmicks. (Also the length and complexity of the answer you linked makes me laugh, and proves that a category of programmers is more interested in defending Vim than about making things people want)
- colordrops 5y agoThey obviously aren't experts then. I don't know many people who can edit in a GUI as fast as a seasoned vim user. Maybe seen it twice.
- crubier 5y agoThey have been using its daily at work for many years. And they are very competent and productive programmers. It’s just that it’s tempting to find the “perfect” combo when performing complex tasks, and that takes time and mental energy even if you don’t realize this. Small time admittedly, but still present and cumulative.
- gorjusborg 5y agoI can't see how someone can use vi for more than a couple of years without doing most everything from muscle-memory. That's the dominant value-proposition, in my view. That said, your attitude toward use of an editor is bizarre. If you want to use vscode, use it. If not, don't. If you are trying to convince the world that your choice is the best, and anyone who disagrees is wrong, well, good luck with that.
