- survirtual 4y agoI don’t know, I grew up with IDEs and came into console based editing much later in my programming life. It is so much better when working with multiple systems over ssh, especially if modifying linux at all, writing drivers, etc. It is a huge learning curve, but the ease of remote editing and the speed increase is really incredible. Being able to rapidly move around a file with just a keyboard is a super power, but it just takes muscle memory which means a lot of practice and time. It may or may not be worth it, but it definitely is not a cultist offering. There is a large value add.
- avgcorrection 4y agoHarsh but not unwarranted. What a bizarre keybind.
- pxmpxm 4y agoI like vi and use it daily, yet fully agree with that statement.
