Thanks for the link, Jacob. I'll have to check out Practical Vim. I notice it says that it has more than 100 Vim tips. I guess I would take those tips and put them into my study deck so that I'd actually be able to remember all of them. ;)

#7For me, a GUI editor is always preferred over Vim. But when I have to use CLI editors, Vim is the best.
That's why I will never master in Vim. Because files that I edit most are hosted locally

I suppose it depends what you're coding. For Objective-C I use xCode. For Android I use Android Studio. They provide many key affordances because they are tuned to their particular use cases.
However, if I'm writing in shell, Ruby, JavaScript, or any other oddball language without a purpose-built IDE, a well-tuned Vim setup, and extensive familiarity with how to use it, works wonders.

Used to be the same with me. Then I got a Mac and realized that some keys are missing. My goal was then to learn how to do the stuff that I commonly do in GUI editors: edit multiple files at the same time, copy&paste code around, navigate through the file system conveniently... Googling for these things took some time but now I'm pretty fluent in vim. Also I like the workflow having vim open and then ^Z into the command line to run unit tests.
