Why would I use vim if my computer is powerful enough to run Visual Studio Code?

Well if you use VIM instead of VSC you'll also be able to do other stuff while you're at it

Jetbrains stuff blows MS out of the water though nowadays. At least the code intelligence stuff. Sublime has a better editor though

@ZioCain provided you can exit it

@Mr-Myrk What drugs you take? You're clearly outta your mind with that statement.

I use Vim to get extra points on elitism and condescension.

When you’re already in CLI and wanna do a quick edit on a config file. I’d rather just do everything without having to move my mouse, find the txt file, open it, etc.

It seems trivial but all those movements add up to your day.

Try editing a 8GB file w/ vsc :) my coleague tried. 32GB ram was far from enough.

With vim on the other hand -- eZ!

Depends on your goals. I love vim for quick tasks, reviews, but use graphical IDE for more complicated stuff :)

First, for all my needs, an IDE is not necessary (JS Dev). and the VIM way is the good way!

@kescherRant vscode being non-free software is not a fantastic reason to not use it.
