I don't think that adage applies when the target user is the average VIM user
- dexterdog 3y agoBut the average vim user is jumping to new instances often, so if he has to reconfigure it everywhere he might as well install a different editor with a config.
- irishloop 3y agoI am not sure thats true. vim does give you extra utility in its availability on a wide variety of server-type platforms, but I suspect most vim users are using it actively for development on their local (or docker etc) boxes
- sodapopcan 3y agoYep, lots of us "Vim as a local IDE" users out here. I haven't "jumped around machines" in years. Vim is a nugget of battle-tested familiarity in an industry of constant change.
- alpaca128 3y agoI have over 100 custom keybindings in my Vim config and can assure you I can still use the default configuration without any issues, it's just a bit slower. The few settings I find really important can just be quickly set with a couple commands. No big deal.
- usrbinbash 3y agoLets see, how many commands does it take me to port my entire vim config to a new machine? Ah, right...one. git clone https://github.com/MY_USERNAME/vim.git Not exactly what I'd call a difficult or time consuming method.
