Your articles are entitled "Learning Vim" so one could expect a little bit more depth and actual "teaching". And not promoting crap like Janus… installing that shit is the opposite of learning. It's like paying someone to do your homework for you.

In "Buffer Management", you don't talk about :find or command-line completion or the wildmenu or the possibility to use mappings or the fact that one can use buffer names to navigate or tag-based navigation.

The good news is that Vim has solutions. They're just not baked into the Vim core.
Seriously, don't do that under a "learning vim" umbrella. That series should be called "Get Vim to look like all those screenshots without worrying about learning to use it".
- ben336 12y agoSorry you didn't find it helpful. I'll keep that stuff in mind going forward.
- johncoltrane 12y agoI didn't really hope your articles to be helpful for me, to be honest, but people wanting to learn Vim will certainly find them lacking.
- ben336 12y agoWell I'm glad I met expectations at least then :)
