Don't feel bad, there's nothing worse (for editing) than using a half baked version of vim in another editor. The best of implementations will leave you with an uncanny valley feeling of disgust. I'd rather use a non-modal editor, all or nothing.
- DennisP 13y agoFunny, I'm just the opposite. I'd rather have the basics than nothing. Mostly I've used VsVim and Viemu. They're both pretty decent. (Viemu is better though, it's got everything I normally use except for :norm. VsVim is missing column mode and the vap doesn't work.)
- jaredmcateer 13y agoI've built a suite of useful shortcuts that only work with my vimrc, which isn't a problem since installing my config from my github repo is a 3 step process, but when I'm running in some "vim-mode" editor I find myself tripping up on not having these things that I've committed to muscle memory and it ends up killing my productivity. At least if I know the editor is always in insert mode I can adjust with the occasional :w here.
- DennisP 13y agoI could see that being annoying. VsVim and Viemu both support a vimrc.
