Why learn vim? Before we jump straight to the answer, let me ask you another question. How many times do you change a piece of code, refactor, correct typo errors, etc? I am sure the list doesn't stop there, there are heaps of examples you can add! A...

At my last company vim was our compulsory in house editor. Did it for a year and it definitely makes editing your code a lot easier.

PS- What do you use to create your GIFs

Haha is this a back to back comments on each other post.

Thank you Omotola for spending the time to read it.

If you asking about the GIFs meme it is Giphy website. For the Video GIFs a Google search will give you some free software to use.

I do not remember the application I used but if you would ask me now, I am using Peek on Linux.

Thanks yea I use giphy to generate my giphys with a from a video but sometimes the quality isn't great Dinys Monvoisin

In my experience, VIM can help you be pretty productive, you're only focus in your keyboard and even though it takes time to really feel comfortable with, it paids off.

It's not that I use it everyday for coding, but when I do, I do feel like I'm focused.

I would encourage learning VIM over anything.

How could you use it from time to time? When I adopted it, I cannot write a single line of code without it.

I think you should take the time to practice to the point it becomes an indispensable tool in your tool kit.

Awesome 👏 May I request you to tag it with General Programming for better visibility?

Thank you for the advice!!!
