I love vim; I'm just as unproductive as before, but in a more efficient manner. Which means I have more time to also be unproductive.
"You don't change vim, vim changes you"; that hit me hard
Once you learn VIM, you can't stop seeing the world as a series of vim macros
"Vim actually feels natural to people who use Vim" my favorite quote.
I did some math: After 25 years of programming; the seconds I save using VIM will surpass the hours I spend configuring and learning it, so worth it!
I love how all the actual vim users fully agree with everything this parody says, I'm not even sure its a parody at this point.
"no more mouse, no more mice, no more traps" this is officially my mantra now
You missed the most important vim enthuisiast phrase: "IDEs are bloat ware"
"Vim actually feels quite natural to people who use vim." this is very very true. I use vim bindings everywhere.
As a hardcore Vim user - i totally agree with everything that he says. I mean, at this point, i don't know if what he's saying is a joke anymore because everything that he says, i say it to others. I literally made my entire workflow in the spirit of vim. My window manager, dwm, is driven by the keybinds of vim, i use tmux, i use st, ranger/lf, vimium to navigate browser in the spirit of vim, and oh, i almost forgot to tell : i use arch, btw. Honestly, great video.
I love how there's no MOUSE on the desk 😂
"Painful at first, painful at last" Sounds about right. :wq
As a Vim user, i endorse this message.
once you experience vim, you can never leave. seriously, being using for 20 years now, never found how to quit
"It will be painful at first, and painful at last" really got me
best random string generator: Get someone who doesn't know vim and tell them to exit.
I love Vim. I've been learning it since 2007 and I'm almost good enough to use it correctly.
This is the perfect complement to the interview with an emacs enthusiast video. If you haven't seen that one yet, it's worth watching just so you know your enemy.
First time I encountered Vim the entire team was totally completely shocked by my lack of knowledge and development. They questioned my live and upbringing and if it was worth living anyway. That day I learned something. There is a different genepool of developers and they come from an other dimension.
