Not sure why you’d remember the ones you rarely need. I just memorized the things I use. Remembering stuff you use is much easier than learning a programming language. I’ve been programming for over 30 years and I’ve been using vim as my only “IDE” for the last 14 years. It would take me significantly less time to teach someone vim than to teach them programming.
See, the thing with Vim is that I don’t actually know which of the endless features I need. I don’t really feel like I’m missing much with the basic text editors.
Maybe you could shine some light on it for me? Right now I’m the sideways-glancing monkey meme every time IDEs come up.
Grep is as high power as vim and emacs??? In what universe?
When combined with sed, sure, but the difficulty ratings should be swapped.
And vim/emacs are rated just as difficult as a programming language
Should they be more or less difficult, though? Really basic coding seems easier to me than remembering an endless soup of hotkeys I’ll rarely need.
