Make sure you're a proficient touch typist. It's not designed to be used by filthy casuals.

Uninstall all that shit and use it vanilla with only a .vimrc for your settings.
vi/vim exists on nearly any *nix you can think of but not all the features are there, so learn vanilla and you'll be set.

Run vimtutor.

Also, when you grow up you should install emacs

>not emacs

sounds right

Might be crap, but I guess realtime-autocomplete and a proper syntax highlight for golang wouldn't be too uncomfortable.
Why should I give up to all that?
if mouse is enabled hold shift to middle click paste and make sure ur in insert mode

pros of emacs?

Unix philosophy is do one thing and do it well (inb4 emacs again).
It's a text editor, that's what it was designed to be so use it as that.
If you want an ide then install an ide.

sorry carpal tunnel surgery is too expensive
spacemacs kinda kewl tho
>>56271845
pros:
scripting language is better
you can basically use it as a window manager
cons:
instant carpal tunnel syndrome
can't beat vim modularness
EVIL mode doesn't really fully match Vim
spacemacs is worth checking out imo though
>>56271845
Emacs is basically a text GUI for Elisp, so the possibilities are almost endless and extensions are more full-featured. If this is advantage or not, depends on what you want.
I use Spacemacs with evil mode (vim simulator), and I recommend for anyone who wants to try emacs without dabbling too much with Elisp and without leaving vim's commands.
>>56271887
I guess I'll give it a try

>instant carpal tunnel syndrome
You might get it if you stretch your hand to use Ctrl and Alt. If you use 2 hands you'll be fine.
>can't beat vim modularness
What the fuck does that even mean.
>>56271855
Tell me, why aren't realtime-autocomplete and syntax highlighting good features for a text editor to have?

Isn't she afraid of catching a cold?

Open terminal, type vimtutor. It will take you 20-30 mins. Good way to start.

Eh, I'd say just do what you feel comfortable with desu sempai. Can't speak for the other guy but I don't use plugins and such because I like to know how my tools are configured and plugins detract from that. Also I like things that are consistent, rules that are rules, not context driven blackmagic plugins that fucks up quick edits because the cursor is over some symbol or inside a block or in the mood to take a shit.
I don't know man, everyone seems to do this differently, like everyone is super particular about how a knife should be sharpened.

>>56271855
Vim edits text - does 1 thing
Plugin does whatever a plugin does - again 1 program 1 thing
How does thia breach muh Unix phylosophy

You didn't say what you use tho, desu senpai-chan
