I used vim for decades and the sensation is that I can hold the code in my hands and manipulate it directly. Other editors feel like I’m wearing thick gloves, can’t move correctly.
but it’s like learning to play the piano, it only feels natural after years of practice
nowadays I’m faster with Cursor so it doesn’t matter as much
- joshdavham 1y agoSo you use Cursor now? Do you at least still use vim motions there?
- jes5199 1y agono, emulated vim motions annoy me because they’re always slightly wrong, especially for the interesting stuff like multi-line selections. Or, worse, I’ve got stuff in my muscle memory from the `surround.vim` plugin that isn’t emulated. Easier to just open vim in a terminal if I want to do surgery on a file.
