    I’m sure someone already made a graph plotting the hours wasted learning vs the seconds gained not moving your mouse.

        Nice.

        I’ve been using Vim daily for about 20 years, it saves me 30 minutes at a time regularly.

        I’m approaching break-even on the learning curve!

        I’m kidding…mostly.

      This. If it was your sole tool for daily tasks it makes sense, once a month to edit a config file…not so much.

      When I started working we had HP Unix Silicon Graphics systems, VI was our only text editor…so I have some commands as muscle memory. The rest of commands I open my tractor feed help printout from 30 years ago
