Not to get on vim tangent but it's very easy to learn vim slowly. If you use a gui like MacVim you can still use cmd+s to save, etc. and use it like a normal editor. The only thing you are really required to know is the difference between normal and insert modes.
- ahuth 13y agoYeah, I understand what you're saying. It's just hard for me to justify (to myself) learning vim (or emacs, or vi, or whatever) when I can just load up Sublime Text and start working on something. Put another way: working with Sublime Text and Adobe Brackets is a good experience for me... There's nothing that screams out at me "Man, this sucks, I need to go learn vim."
- Touche 13y agoFair enough, can't blame you for that. If you ever start wanting to administer your own servers, being handy with vim is nice as you can quickly make changes on an ssh server.
- stephenr 13y agoVim is hardly a requirement to manage a server, and the amount of changes required live on a server should be approaching zero - apps should never be written on the server and even config files etc should be handled by some form of config management - chef, puppet, debian config packages, etc
