Generally, yes. Learning how to navigate will help you in any *nix systems. > since there are quite some comments highlighting the effectiveness of a good VIM setup and muscle memory of 10+ years, I would like to know your opinion on starting to get into it now (end of 2022) I think this is not a good mindset to have. Knowing what's effective and building that muscle memory will take a long* time. If you approach thinking that "this is going to make my productivity fly because other people said so," the learning curve will flatten you and make you sad. IMO, do it for curiosity's sake - having a hacker's mindset in the beginning will smooth that curve out! As a testimonial mirroring other comments in this thread: you really can't go wrong with it once you get the hang of it. My experience with vim has been always positive & I've never had to change the core of my config for years. 99% of every LoC I've written in the past 10 years has been in vim. Every time I had to use/try a new editor, vim keybinding is the first extension I install (or setting I enable). It has helped my RSI a bunch (huge QoL improvement) and this is especially crucial with laptops: no more trackpad fiddling in the middle of typing!
