If you use certain software a lot, you'd find it behaviour and shortcuts ingrained into your subconscious mind. Like driving: an experienced driver doesn't consciously think of how to control the car, she just does.
This is what makes Emacs or vi users so efficient: they had years to get the operation of those editors ingrained into their brains. Which takes quite an effort, that is not worth repeating with another editor (unless yours is broken).
- nilkn 12y agoThere's no reason to downvote me because you have a different opinion. I thought this place was supposed to be better for discussion but evidently not. I'm a vim user who can easily use something else if it's better for a certain purpose. I guess not everybody feels the same way and some are even offended by the suggestion.
