I write C# three days a week. Is learning vim worth it?
- pluijzer 4y agoYes I would say. Most IDE's support vim keybindings via plugins. Vim kingbindings with the convenience of and IDE results in an powerful experience.
- Silica6149 4y agoNope. If you're already comfortable in your code editor of choice and like it, there's no good reason to switch. However, if you've seen people use it in real life or in youtube videos, and think that it's cool being able to execute precise and fast commands without needing to move your hands from the keyboard, to edit code exactly how you want to, definitely try it!
- olalonde 4y agoIf you plan to code for many years, it's definitely worth it. But it has a steep learning curve. It could take you a few weeks before you feel like Vim is not actually slowing you down. But past that point, you will continuously gain productivity and will eventually refuse to use anything else. I've been using Vim for almost a decade and I'm still learning new tricks that boost my productivity.
