    Yup, use what works. Most of my coworkers use VSCode, and I’m the oddball with ViM (though I have VSCode installed w/ ViM extension).

    Whatever you use, master it. I recommend learning some CLI editor in case you end up needing one.

      That is great advice. Vim was actually the first editor I properly learned. I find many of the keybinding very nice and useful especially for cursor movement.

      I eventually moved away from it since I find I spend more time learning it than using it. I personally dont use that many feature of a editor, I find IDE features more important to me.

      But I still have many global keybinding inspired by vim, like ctrl + jkhl;^ for cursor movement. They are absolutely essential for me at this point.

        Hjkl is the one core ViM feature that I actually rarely use. I use Dvorak keyboard layout, so those keys are in an awkward location, so I use other movements instead.

        I have just enough IDE features in ViM that I don’t feel the need to switch for most tasks, and if I ever did, there are plugins that fill in the gaps.

        So I guess we’re just opposite sides of the same coin. :)
