Absolutely it feels disrespectful maybe in the context of Bram Moolenaar's recent passing, but... To me the vim thing is kind of cultish? I have encountered many gatekeeping-elitists out there who act like this is some kind of entrance exam for competence in our profession or something. It's disturbing. Early on I went with the emacs religion instead of the vi religion. That merely came down to the fact that my favourite MUD/MOO client was in emacs (it was amazing, BTW). And because emacs was on the HP-UX systems I was playing on. And because the modal editing in vi seemed crude and slow to me.... but in the intervening years I'd never thought of telling anybody around me that they should be using emacs or judged them for not using it? But I've now encountered several people in the last 20 years who said things like "I wouldn't hire somebody who relies on an IDE to write code" always along with an aggressive promotion of vim. Anyways, I think vim is neat. I respect it. But I won't use it... Don't Mode Me In.
