40+. Have been viming since 1999-2000. SublimeText + vim mode has been my weapon of choice since like 2012-2013. It works out of the box and is the most compatible with my muscle memory (tried VSCode's vim emulation, RealVim, PyCharm's vim mode — hell, it's 120 chars per line by default). Onivim2 seemed promising but it's still not there.
What I really like in Vim is not Vim itself, but modal editing, mouse-free navigation, staying at the home row. Ideally I would like this model to be universally available across my environment. Like MacVim but everywhere. Plus, a trackpoint at the home row (really loved IBM ThinkPad).
Home row is great but it's so much addictive that you want it everywhere, but I still haven't found a universal way. I bought a UHK[1] and learn how to use it and Karabiner elements complex modifications.
Also these days I tend to think that physical navigation (characters, words, lines, paragraphs…) is really not what I should think about when working. So lately I've been exploring helix and projectional[2] (structural[3]) editors.
My younger colleagues are sometimes so awkward in terminal so I've been thinking about investing some time into setting up a well tuned and documented shell environment for them somewhere. I think I'd start with this awesome article[4].
