Genuinely took most of my notes in college on vim, when you get good it’s just faster.
I'm sure someone already made a graph plotting the hours wasted learning vs the seconds gained not moving your mouse.
Nice.
I've been using Vim daily for about 20 years, it saves me 30 minutes at a time regularly.
I'm approaching break-even on the learning curve!
I'm kidding...mostly.
This. If it was your sole tool for daily tasks it makes sense, once a month to edit a config file...not so much.
When I started working we had HP Unix Silicon Graphics systems, VI was our only text editor...so I have some commands as muscle memory. The rest of commands I open my tractor feed help printout from 30 years ago
