Genuinely took most of my notes in college on vim, when you get good it’s just faster.

I'm sure someone already made a graph plotting the hours wasted learning vs the seconds gained not moving your mouse.

Nice.

I've been using Vim daily for about 20 years, it saves me 30 minutes at a time regularly.

I'm approaching break-even on the learning curve!

I'm kidding...mostly.

This. If it was your sole tool for daily tasks it makes sense, once a month to edit a config file...not so much.

When I started working we had HP Unix Silicon Graphics systems, VI was our only text editor...so I have some commands as muscle memory. The rest of commands I open my tractor feed help printout from 30 years ago

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
