Just go back to your bloated visual studio shit.

>Tampons

just press i and use it as a normal text editor. Then learn the features as you go. It may be ancient and it may have a retarded learning curve, but once you learn it it's rocket fast

i don't get why anyone uses vim. 99% of the hotkey functions can be accomplished with clicks and double clicks in any gui based editor.

Typical GNU fags

>>61015113
Visual editors are a passing fad. Try ed.

>>61015748
Probably nostalgia fags that still uses CRT monitors and text-based OS. A bunch of faggots

I seriously doubt that, but even if true, you still have to use the mouse, which means leaving the keyboard, which means wasting time with unnecessary hand movement. Vim is proven to be much more efficient for typing than any other editor. What most people forget, though, is that if you're getting actual work done, you're probably not spending 100% of your time just typing as fast as you can, which kind of diminishes the impact of much more efficient text editing.

Excuse me? Hotkeys are infinitely more efficient than using a mouse for these kinds of tasks. The only downside (if it can even be called that) is that you have to familiarize yourself with them before you can make full use of them, but I refuse to accept that we live in a world where having to actually learn how to do shit is unironically considered a downside.
