Getting to know Vim Editor for university. Do you think switching from visual studio code to Vim is a good method for learning? Do you know any good Vim courses?

    I don't use vim myself.

    But I guess if you just throw yourself at vim you should expect great drop in productivity for a relative long period of time. In the other hand, I think it's also the best way to learn it. Start slow and figure out new things while you need them!

    Anything can be learned. It is just a matter of preference. If you like vim then go for it. I prefer vscode. Do vim as long as your productivity will not be affected 😎

    The simplest way to learn vim is running the command vimtutor that ships with vim (I did and now I'm good at vim)

    I used to use vim for everything (c#, js, even java sometimes) i switched to vscode because of productivity, I think the editor has nothing to do with how good you learn a language or platform, at the end it comes down to you dedication to learning and the effort you put in understanding whatever you are doing

    @jpichardo sure I can code pretty good now and I don't want to learn how to code with vim, but how to use it. As example I mentioned switching from VS code but I will try vimtutor and vimadventures first

    VS code vim integration pretty good now. Using it for last 6 months and its fine. Couple of issues but nothing major.

    Definitely recommend spending the time to learn vim, every ide has a plug-in for it, and if you don't learn it you will have to learn the different shortcuts everytime you change ide. I switch regularly between eclipse, vs code and command line vi/vim.

    Useful way is to learn one new vim command every day and use that command, you quickly get good at it.
