omg dudes it took my 3 years of using vim before I learned CtrlP

Didn't you do vimtutor?

What is ctrlp even for? convince me to use it.

Perhaps use an editor that doesn't take three years to learn something new

I use to think just like you, then one day I realized the only reason I thought that way was because of how limited my editor was. That was when I switched to vim.

It takes an infinite amount of time to learn all the features of vim, and that's because it's infinitely more powerful than your editor.

You'll never become a good programmer if you don't use vim. Never.

It makes it real easy to locate and open any file, no matter which directory vim starts from
It also simplifies jumping between open buffers once you get a decent number of files open
