   Yes, I have used magit while trying to find some love for emacs. It's fine. But I still prefer VS Code's git integration. It's the simplest client I've seen. I don't mind using the command line for git, but if I&#x2

   Vi/Vim user since 1992. Flirted with emacs every so often. I haven't used Vim in 9 months since installing VS Code. Here's why: 1. IntelliSense support is the best outside of Visual Studio itself. 2. Integrated debugging (cur

   I do a lot of work on multiple rows/sections/blocks of similar data. My workflow usually goes like this... 1. Do the same thing 3 times, realize that I'll be done faster if I automate it. 2. qz to record a macro into buffer

   I was taught that one by the brother-in-law. He also tried to teach me 1234l (the letter 'l') to go to the end of a line. I figured out a better way pretty quickly on that one. I didn't find the magical 'g' until

    Exactly. It's why I wrote the article. For me, using Vim brings with it a whole general feeling of comfort, which probably includes those early days hacking away on the Xenix box with family close by and Mario dinging in up the hallway
