Learning VIM (through VIM Adventures) was one of the best things I’ve done for my programming career.
It’s certainly not necessary but it speeds up development, keeps you in the “flow” longer, is more ergonomic than using your mouse, generates peer-reverence and gets better with time.
Spend an hour getting the basics down in VIM Adventures and then force yourself to use VIM for just 1 weekend of side project or non-critical coding. That’s all it will take for you to be converted, and you’ll never go back. In fact, you’ll start to wish every text editor was VIM, like composing new emails.
