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
