Argh! I’ve been finally getting around to learning vi (vim), and now you are telling me that is so last century, I need Kakoune?
At least Vim “mode” seems to be supported everywhere. Surely I get more bang for “time investment” than these others?
- rgoulter 3y agovi is ubiquitous, so it's still a useful thing to have learned. Especially for fresh linux installs, or in default VM environments, it's useful to be able to use vi. Though, IME the cost of learning something like kakoune or helix's motion (having already learned vi) is quite low. -- The value-add of vi's modal editing doesn't go away just because something even nicer comes along; it does mean you get the chance to use something even nicer.
