I can assure you Vim is not making a MILLISECOND difference. Vim is making a 5 seconds difference on every edit. Each edit can be defined as commenting out blocks of code, insert/delete text, or moving blocks of code. If your IDE provides convenient key combo to do these tasks, then great, you have no reason to use Vim. But as soon as you reach for your mouse, you just wasted 1 seconds. Dragging your mouse to select the text you want to change takes another 5 to 10 seconds. > Oh, yes, and 100% of your time is spent coding. You don't lookup documentation and you don't do any file management at all. Documentation lookup is much faster through terminal :) Man page is easier to navigate than JavaDoc because of that no mouse needed. File management is easier and faster through terminal. Think about the process that you move/copy file in GUI. 1) You open one Window, then navigate through folder tree with mouse double clicks; 2) You issue a copy command to the file you want to copy/move; 3) You mouse click to destination folder then paste it. Terminal based file management is just `cp /source/folder/autocompleted/with/tab/key /destination/folder` I think the true argument here is not Vim or not Vim. It's about mouse or no mouse.
