This is bound to be an unpopular opinion here but I hate vim.
Shortcuts in vim make no sense whatsoever. They’re not the fastest possible shortcuts nor are they intuitive.
Sure it’s got useful features if you let the awful design brow beat you into memorising an absurd number of shortcuts that lack any form of logic.
You could have a cheat sheet on another monitor but at that point why not have an editor that has a gui.
Its more about using your own shortcuts if you dont like some which is what you should do whatever editor you use
So then what makes vim special? From what I understand it’s just a “standard” for shortcuts to features that can be shared between different editors, right?
I was shoved into Linux by a nearly dead HPC expert who was definitely angry about the advent of electricity.
Wasn’t given any indication of a text editor, I ran across vim for one reason or another and enjoyed his Palpatine-like reaction from seeing me using vim enough to keep using it. And if you’re enjoying something, why not
But yeah, it has some drawbacks lol
