Bullshit.
I can open a file, search a random string and fix your damn configuration file over ssh using vi/vim.
I will however, keep using Sublime Text 2 over Vim almost every single time, thank you very much. Vim usability sucks.
Also, try to play some Starcraft competitively before dismissing the mouse as productivity killer. In the right hands those bastards are FAST.
Selecting and moving a string from a random part of a line to the middle of another line is faster with a mouse than with keystrokes. Not by much, but it is.
- sliverstorm 14y agoThe thing about Starcraft is you don't need the full keyboard. A large part of the "productivity hit" people talk about with text editors is not "mouses are slow", but that switching from keyboard to mouse back to keyboard back to mouse is slow.

- snogglethorpe 14y ago> Have you tried touchpads? Switching to touchpad takes almost no time. ... but touchpads are relatively much less precise than mice, especially when used with your thumbs. For many activities, this matters (e.g. precision is required to select text in many cases; it can be maddening to have to continually re-select the same text because you keep missing the first character...). I've noticed many people actually switching to "touchpad mode" for precise movements, where they move their whole hand down and use their index finger on the pad. This seems to increase the accuracy somewhat, but of course incurs the same switching overhead as a mouse...
- mike_esspe 14y agoI always use index finger and don't have problem with precision (I even don't own a mouse). It takes not that much time and comparable with time to click Esc in vi.
