Vim was the best “dumb” editor over an ssh connection. It grew over 15 years into the primary way I write most code. One never really learns “vim” TBH. Over the years I periodically take a dip in productivity to learn a knew thing and customize my experience. Some things are firmly in my muscle memory. But many things will never make it in there. That’s the nature of the problem. Vim wants you to take a high level of ownership over the parts you want to emphasize. It’s hard to teach that. Some people will get great value as a “dumb editor that works over ssh” while others have gone very deep into obscure corners to memorize whatever arcana helps them. All are valid ways to vim IMO.
