A great thing about learning Vim is that you can say "i use vim btw" to every single person you've encountered. That feels awesome
@AustinMarlar
I was trying to learn Vim motions for YEARS with little to no success. Then I hit the SUBSCRIBE button, and, holy shot, within MINUTES I was blazing through code with the power of coconut oil on my side. Thanks Prime, couldn’t have done it without you.

I remember 2 years ago watching Primeagen using vim made me try to learn it too, I probably binged all of his videos back then. Within 2 weeks I was already proficient enough to go faster with vim than with mouse/keyboard, 2 years and a half later, probably the best habit I've built in my professional life. It does really make a change
@ItzAnameOk
Vim got me out of depression. Thank you Prime for showing me joy through Vim.

I tried many times through my career to pick up vim, but then I hit subscribe on this video and now I can use vim fluently, I also can eat concrete, speak perfect German, everything compiles on the first try, my mother is proud of me and I am now dating a model, who rather appreciates the coconut oil
@AndyQuinteroM
You don’t need to be as fast as Prime, even just a 10% improvement in speed over your current is very satisfying.
@Ptaszqq
The most appealing thing with vim for me is that when I use vim I kinda feel more satisfaction from coding, trying to do stuff with as few keystrokes as possible is pretty much like playing the game. I was balzingly fast with VSCode, and switching to vim at first felt like a brain stroke. But after you overcome this initial moment it's jus clear pleasure. Also I became better with touch typing :)
@zenshade2000
The most important thing to grasp is that, while vim will seem hard for awhile, every skill "accumulates" into the foundation for bigger skills, and you'll never look back and think, "Learning that was a waste of time." Somehow, that process also does something to enhance getting into a programming flow zone, so there's knock-on effects above and beyond just being more efficient at typing code.
@kristianroebuck1659
I've been trying to learn Vim for 8 years and as soon as I clicked Subscribe all of the Vim motions instantly came to me. Fantastic work as always.
@ahmadali-yf6mb
man you're not just any professional programmer.. you're a grate teacher... with passion like this in every one of your video. every one will love programming
@jg_yro5845
Learning Vim, and more specifically learning from ThePrimeagen turned an interest into a full blown passion when it came to development and software. The cool thing about vim is it’s closer to a sport than really anything I can think of regarding computers. You literally can practice things and improve over time, and there’s always new things to learn. Then diving into Neovim and even other editors like emacs/helix becomes a personal journey of discovering your own likes/dislikes and workflows. 10/10 worth the initial struggles.
@vnshngpnt
Yes, I knew that you would have basics series on the editor. After NeoVim setup (thanks to your video :) it's time to dive in. I actually worked with it already for a few days and learned some basics Visual/Insert and copying/pasting, but I feel like I need to get comfortable with moving around words, paragraphs, etc. Let's go!
@Seselix
I use vim everyday, so these basics are second nature to me. However, I wish that I had this sort of tutorial when I started.
@Anonymous-zo9qr
I just started learning vim, I'm already enjoying it so much and finally relieved that I know how to write a commit message when git suddenly opens the vim editor up in the terminal when a merge conflict happens😂. that shit scared me for years😂. thank you so much for this course. I absolutely love how vim and vim motion works and already getting the hang of it pretty quickly!!
@ChristopherSalisburySalz
I've been using VIM motions for over 10 years now (still learning a lot) primarily with VsVim for Visual Studio. I also use the VIM plugin for VS Code. Both are really good. I want to use NeoVim for my daily driver but my god it's a lot!! The amount of configuration is huge to get it to the point where I can be as productive as I can with the other tools. I've never been able to get it to that point so I use it for smaller tasks.
@torphedo6286
Thank you for focusing on motions rather than the program, it does make it much easier to adjust. With this approach I've slowly migrated over to NeoVim for most things and Vim motions wherever NeoVim isn't available or practical.
@asdqwe4427
I have been using Vim motions for a month or two and it is just amazing. First week was painful, second week was alright and after 3 weeks I was as fast as I had been before. Now I’m really comfortable in the patterns that vim motions is based on. I have caught myself going “I wonder if…” and then finding that yes, in fact it did work.
@KCkingcollin
Dispite using arch for over 6 years now, and after recently learning that people legitimately use vim and its not just a relic of the Linux operating system, i started using it for about a month just on my own as a replacement to nano, but this video has cleared up everything for me, and i now understand why its used so much, I can't even imagine not using vim motions now, and i haven't even used vim after watching this video yet lmao
