Learning Vim has been one of the highest-longevity skill I picked up in University. With every new technology - autocomplete, IDEs, various GUI design interfaces - there's always a chorus of folks who say: "Well now you don't need to Vim, this new tool makes that obsolete." And every time I end up having to manipulate a mountain of text regardless - whether that's in logs, source code, configuration, or documentation. With the amount of text that AI outputs I don't see the need to manipulate text going away and Vim is one of the fastest and most flexible ways to do that.
- jrm4 9mo agoBut the thing is -- will it be? Which is to say, let's take two extremes. The "vim" way vs. the ultra-Emacs way, right? The thing is, it will soon become trivially easy to modify your own "text editing environment," and by you I mean everyone? The more I read this, the more I'm strongly predicting a resurgence in this sort of individualization.
