My biggest personal challenge as a dev? The one friend that keeps yelling at me to learn vim when I'm doing just fine with VSCode.

    If you're interested in it, learn Vim on your own time and become better than him. His face will be priceless when you'll teach him some things he doesn't know about ;)

    If you don't want to, just ignore him!

    Why would you go through the pain of vim when vsc is godlike

    Learning emacs you can use a lot of the same commands at the terminal

    Vscode is Microsoft software, for editing Microsoft programming languages, right? Seems like, as capable as vim is, vscode is the right tool for the job.

    @bahua VSCode is a general purpose editor. By Microsoft, yes; for Microsoft languages, not necessarily. I use it primarily for python, and the stuff in the official python plugin is useful.

    @bahua VSCode's most popular language is node, which is certainly not a Microsoft language (tho they have contributed to the project)

    @Lahsen2016 i bet you $5 that if you utilize both, you can code faster with vsc. Also why would i use the mouse? It has keybindongs and you can define your own ones too.

    The main reason I put it in effort to learn vim, is if I had to ssh to a host or some other machine for god knows what, I know vim will be there, and I can be as efficient as possible. If you don't see your job function requiring something similar, I would probably just stick with an ide if you like it

    I use both VSCode and the vim plugin. Works like a charm.
