< About how I try to learn to use Vim

~bitdweller

I've used Sublime Text a lot, which is an awesome editor, incredibly fast for all it does, specially when I started working. Them came Atom, but that was short lived and I went back to Sublime.

I've known basic vim commands since I started playing around with Red Hat in 99, since getting stuck once, if you know what I mean. Being a little bit of a nerd I set out to properly learn vim and set up some plugins like autocompletion, tree view, learn panels, windows, etc.

I now use VSCode professionally with vim mode. I'm faster with a GUI and I like the bells and whistles, it makes stuff easier for me. I just wish it would be faster. Vim can get pretty slow too, if you load it with shit. Which I did for some time.

Vim has a special place in my heart and I use it daily on my homelab.
