Even in 2023 you can get vim to be more powerful than VS Code. But it's that much more difficult.
As the author states, IDEs haven't necessarily gotten a lot better, but imo advanced features have become a lot more accessible.
- TheRoque 3y agoWhat does it mean "more powerful" ? Do you mean in terms of productivity ? It probably depends on your task anyways. In 2023, it's still a pain to have decent debugging in Vim. For pure text editing, I can believe you, but for software development, I highly doubt it.
- falcor84 3y ago> Even in 2023 you can get vim to be more powerful than VS Code. But it's that much more difficult. I absolutely agree, assuming you're using "powerful" in the same sense as saying that a Turing machine is more powerful than a MacBook.
- stevebmark 3y agoVim is a text editor, not a code editor. It has always been fundamentally designed this way.
- svlasov 3y agoVim has many features that do not belong to a text editor, like `:make`, `gd` or even QuickFix.
