>You have to learn Vim's terrible, verbose, antiquated commands in depth in order to justify using Vim. If you don't use q: (q colon) and q/ (q forward slash) in Vim, for example, you probably don't know Vim well enough to justify the efficiency loss you have compared to you using a modern IDE with multiple cursors.
How is scrolling through your past commands and searches anything like having multiple cursors?
If I want to use the same command I just type `:` followed by the start of the command and press up and it automatically fills in the rest of that command and I can even go back and forward in that history. Same with searching.
Also how is any of this "efficiency loss". Whenever someone talks about efficiency loss or performance in their IDE it is usually some very niche thing that they have gotten good at, but often the house of cards crumbles when they try to do anything else.

- nextlevelwizard 3y agoMaybe I just don't have that heavy searches or in editor scripts that I would have ever wanted to do that
