Vi has a steep learning curve, but once mastered, it is on-par or exceeds the best of other editors. It is also present everywhere (on Linux at least) and works via ssh as well as locally.
I'm not using it anymore myself, but I know and respect people who do. For me the tradeoff was not worth it, however it still annoys me to hell and back that I have to reach for the mouse so often in vscode.
- can16358p 3y agoI see. I develop mostly mobile apps and I need to be using mouse/trackpad anyway frequently so that's not an issue. Though about the keyboard part: I'm used to Vscode's keyboard shortcuts too (and I can in no way say I know all of it) and I can easily navigate and code in Vscode too. Perhaps many people who got used to those tools developed muscle memory so much that they can't give Vscode (or anything modern) the chance it deserves.
- bornfreddy 3y agoI also use keyboard shortcuts (obviously), but in some cases it seems impossible to configure them - for example maximizing the terminal window vertically seems to not be supported by shortcuts.
