Vim is a powerful text editor that improves coding speed & efficiency through its shortcut-based Vim language. While learning Vim can be challenging, it is a valuable skill that can enhance your career as a computer professional.
I personally started with vim and I’m now using neovim for years. And I have to admit that it’s just an editor… But a perfectly optimized one.
It requires some efforts to learn the basic useful features (like horizontal and vertical motion) but I quickly saw its potential. What made me stick to it and willing to invest even more efforts is the fact that you build it to fit your needs like a glove through the interface customization, no limit and powerful keybindings remapping, and a collection of plugins for everything (without making it slow or bloated). With the right plugins, this editor can handle any regular typing or specific coding language, and makes your workflow way more efficient thanks to a great project management approach and/or speedy fuzzy finder file explorer.
I’ve barely started a series of posts dedicated to this incredible editor. Whether or not you’re using a vim or neovim, I’d recommend to stay curious because there’s other editors out there to be aware of and one may prefer them. I’ve tried quite some of themwhen moving to neovim but this one was just the one for me.
