I’ve tried vim on and off during college but never really had the time to fully get working with it. As it turns out the stress of two degrees is not conducive to “fun activities”. Now that I have a real job ™️, I’ve decided to finally try and use it this week full stop and I genuinely feel like a programming chad. There’s still a lot I’ll need to learn and probably overtime I’ll discover some inefficiency in how I’m using it now but it really does just feel good. I understand the hype now.
I tried helix and it’s nice but it’s still not ready to be an IDE. Too many features missing. And I’m not learning completely new tool just to edit text. Vim is still great for that. Let’s hope it grows and gets all the features eventually.
Yea its definitely not an IDE
I use it mostly when I need to edit a config file quickly and don’t want to bother with a full IDE or VS Code
