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.
wait until you try emacs
I went from vim to Emacs and loved it, right up until I found Helix. My “just trying it out” became “never opened emacs again”.
Tried emacs after vim and it made my pinkies hurt. If only it was exactly as vim…
Check out evil to use vim keybindings within emacs. If you want a battery-included experience, try Doom Emacs where enabling evil is a breeze.
Evil? Sounds fire lol, I’ll check it out thanks
Yeah. It was frustrating to use vim. Emacs on the other hand was so much fun. The amount of things you could tweak and change. I haven’t seen another software which can do this today.
It really is unique.
