#2hah ha. Obviously the op needs to start learning emacs.
Note: j/k lol guys.

#3Not to mention most of the vim keybinding benefits are already there in Sublime.
Most developers I know now know enough vim to use it in a pinch for editing on remote servers. What I'd really like to see to handle even this edge case is a browser implementation of Sublime. Now that would be cool.

#4The author has some points, but sadly they're mired in a lot of inaccurate ranting.
Re: Just Use Sublime Text
#5This is one of many vim plugins for Sublime. I really don't understand posts like this (although it's quite hilarious). Every major IDE and text editor worth consideration has a VIM keys plugin. Other than that, one can find at least two or three IDEs or text editors for any major language that will do what vim does and more. Using the best tools for the jobs is a mantra much repeated but hardly practiced.
Asking a new engineer to work on vim (or emacs or any antiquated editor) would indeed be stupid and I would question any engineer's sanity who would suggest such.

#6Point well made and so true.
Vim definitely appeals to minimalists and it's non apparent design and GUI makes it sexy. But I totally agree that's it's not worth to learn Vim nowadays and people using Vim in general just want to show that they are some real hackers.

#7I spend 90% of my time thinking or debugging, not writing/editing, so I feel like it's optimizing the wrong thing. If you're typing with two fingers, don't use any shortcuts and only use your mouse to move around, then by all means try to improve. Personally, I don't feel it's worth it. Sure, you should know your tools, but I feel many programmers take it to the extreme with Vim/Emacs and Dvorak keyboards.

#9My friends, I had not intended to discuss this controversial subject at this particular time. However, I want you to know that I do not shun controversy. On the contrary, I will take a stand on any issue at any time, regardless of how fraught with controversy it might be. You have asked me how I feel about vim. All right, here is how I feel about vim:
If when you say vim you mean the antiquated relic, the impossibly-steep-learning-curve editor, the maddening modal machine, the most discouraging interface, which infuriates experienced users, confounds new users, and yea, literally takes the mouse from your hands and sets it on fire; if you mean the editor that takes every other editor and stomps them into the floor, shouting all the while, "I am better than you!" as you look on in total despair, then certainly I am against it.
But, if when you say vim you mean the savior of efficiency, the feature-complete friend, the wise teacher, the universal helper, that is there no matter what the task, that asks only for your patience in return for life-long skill, that teaches new lessons right when you think you have mastered it, that frees you from reliance on the IDE and says, "rely only on yourself"; if you mean the tool that becomes a personal, intimate companion to anyone who has the fortitude to let it, then certainly I am for it.
This is my stand. I will not retreat from it. I will not compromise.
