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 :)

​@@barefeg yeah that was the part I was most afraid of, but I don't find myself needing multicursor as often as I did in VSCode. If I really need to change multiple instances I just go with :%s/word/changedWord/gc (or whatever flags you need), also I usually copy that word that I want to change so it's faster to just paste it after the first '/'. I really don't miss multiple cursor that much.

For what people use multicursor for I usually do q to record a macro, do the operation I want. Then use @ to run that macro. Often with a search and a jump to next motion. If I recorded the macro to a, using qa, then I'll often just run the operation some times, like maybe ten: 10@a and then what I wanted to do has been done 10 times. There's also the way of using a visual cursor, and hitting capital I for insert, then it'll insert what you write on all lines at the same place. Basically, you do different things rather than multicursor.

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.

Re: "You literally can practice things and improve over time, and there’s always new things to learn." Sure? If you are mindful of what you want to practice, and this is it, go for it. I've had phases where I switch keyboard layouts or editors. But I think it is silly to offer this justification as a reason to do Vim; it is tantamount to saying "Learn X so you can practice X!"

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.

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.

I use Vim since 2016 when I wrote my masterthesis in LaText, because it was a nice addon to learn Vim while just writing text and not code. I really felt into love with the motion and the fact, that I could get rid of the arrow keys while typing something. Also the fact that you just have a lightweight editor which could be set up to a huge IDE was an exiting thing at this moment. Today I use it especially as a plug in in VS Code and Visual Studio. The biggest advantages in my oppinion is, you can use the basics keystrokes on every unix based system and even on windows you can use the git bash for doing some quick changes/commits or so. You can change configurations on every linux server or wrtinting some commit messages while using git. The second thing is, that you can really get rid of the mouse, the arrow keys and most of the different short cuts of an IDE. Everywhere its pretty much the same, when you are using vim (commenting, saving, finding, navigation,...) and your hands are always in the same area of the keyboard, so no jumping with your fingers and that makes it pretty fast.... for those who wants to experience the benefits without learing all the stuff and practicing a lot, I reccomend Vimum as a browser plugin, for navigating through a webside without using the mouse. This works, so good, so smooth and you get an impression how it could be, if you use vim as an editor or plugin in your IDE.

To avoid arrows and force myself to use hjkl, I switched escape/capslock keys (as it was set in the original keyboard Bill Joy used to create Vi) and it was the best thing I could've done. Vi was specifically designed for that. Now I just can't stand hitting Escape moving my hand all the way up. I just hit it with my pinky. I also remapped arrows to hjkl so that way I wouldn't get tempted to use them back then when I was learning Vi.. A game changer.

I was using VSCode for years after its beta, but after subscribing to Primeagen I felt like I already know 80% of all vim commands, now I switched my editor with some complexities in configuration, but almost overcame them already!

I used vi a long time ago, so some of this is coming back to me pretty quick. However, I forgot that i put you to the left and I was totally lost when I wanted to try and add text to the end of a line. You save my day when you reminded me of a!!! Now I feel Canadian : )

Thank you for evangelizing Vim, there really isn't enough Vim hero cycles on KZbin and I just want to say, as someone who struggles with Vim, that I really appreciate your enthusiasm and voice and I hope you are happy, because man Vim is hard and I am not happy right now.

I started using Vim for VSCode, I believe it's only the motions and oh boy was I impressed, still learning little by little but each search and replace makes me giggle like a child xD. Thank you for showing me how to use Vim (motions) Prime!!! Already subbed!

You can also do before CMD. Meaning something like 2d2j is valid and would delete 4 lines.

I can't wait to get to the point where I understand enough to configure my own VIM editor. Recently just following a simple HMTL5 javascript coding guide had me sweating trying to set up a live preview in VS Code with the right extensions and option settings...I am not ready
