#2Refreshing to see this after all the Vim gospel programmers out there claiming it's benefits. I do have to say though, I've seen some videos of real Vim pros at work and it's -majestic- how swiftly they move through lines and duplicating lines, editing params, refactoring, etc - a thing of beauty akin to watching videos on /r/artisanvideos[0].
I'll stick to Sublime Text and Nano when I need some ssh terminal editing. :)

#3> For the first 1-2 years of your Vim usage you will be much less efficient than your current editor because of the odd yet lovable key bindings.

#4"For the first 1-2 years of your Vim usage you will be much less efficient than your current editor"
years????
This is obviously a typo.
If you used a real editor, it'd be quite easy to change "years" to "days."

#6> Vim: The Editor You Need To Read (At Least) Two Books On To Use Well
No. You need to start using it for 2 weeks and then you can no longer look back on any other editor. You don't need to read two books. Stopped reading the article right there.

you should also consider trying emacs.

#9So, in a few thousand words, the author manages to give multiple reasons not to use Vim and not a single one to use Sublime Text, except this:
> But Sublime has things Vim can never have. It’s the new hotness and has a more active community than Vim does.
"Things Vim can never have"? Details please. "It's the new hotness"? Yeah, because I choose my software based on its hip factor rather than its suitability to do what I need.

Haha, that's a very accurate analogy!
