Vim is one if those: good to know things, even if don't you use it as a daily driver.
It will help you one day.
one day you will login to a server over ssh and need to edit a text file... VIM!
I still remember my first time with vim. Opened vim and didn't know how to close it, so I close the terminal.😅
There's a reason why this question on stackoverflow is so popular
Yeah. I know just enough about it to make minor edits, save and quit. :) Some 25 years ago a friend of mine was using Vim and the speed at which he got things done was incredible. I never had the patience to sit down and really learn it.
One day you will edit a file that lives remotly directly through your local vim :-)
True!
:%s/great/awesome/gvim is awesome!
People that call vim bad should use vi first. They will appreciate vim a lot more then.
If they use vi first, then I guess they will never use vi or vim.😂
Which would be perfectly reasonable and understandable :D
Vim is indeed a very powerful tool, though I'm always amazed how many people implicitly equate 'programming' with 'typing', in the same way that you'd equate the job of a manager with 'sitting in meeting rooms and writing emails'.
If typing is your bottleneck, rather than thinking, then you should always give it some more thought before you start typing 😁😋.
Do I need to be able to touch type?
Not necessary, as a beginner it takes time, but once you have given enough time, the key binding will automatically come in your mind. It just needs practice.
You should try out the vim game a lot of fun and you'll learn it quickly..
That's a good place to begin.
Best thing about vim it's learning curve , It's reward you for lifetime it's the kind of editor that will never die .
And with years u will become like hackers in the movie . Type so fast.
That's one of the motivation, do somthing that looks cool and not everyone can do it.🤯
