Each Vim developer had a custom layout and file tree that made it hard to follow during pairing. Again this is just my experience, but I didn't find much consistency between Vim environments either. There's also the fact that I had no indicator of what was going on when the host would start tapping away at key bindings. I think we've all been there when a Vim developer mistypes a command several times just so they can do it the "Vim way". During these times I would tune out or get frustrated with the inefficiency. I've also had several Vim devs tell me that X plugin is not working so they have to do things a little weird, then run linting/formatting outside as a post process to their normal workflow. Not show stoppers by any means, but IMO unnecessary friction points.
