I've enjoyed JetBrains over either so far.

vim was such an unimaginable improvement over nano for doing stuff on linux servers. Having an in-shell-editor search-and-replace function alone is worth everything you have to do to learn vim.
And after I was comfortable around vim because of all the "training" on servers, I just switched to vim fulltime. No more GUI editor for me!
Nanos search and replace is Alt+R as far as I remember
Ha, that would've helped me a few times. Good to know!
Still, I wouldn't switch vim for nano ever again. nano is a good and easy start, but I think if you do more than just basic editing of a few files every now and then, learning vim is the way to go.
vim is pretty customizable, widespread and it has been around for quite some time after all. If you think you need it, somebody most likely already made it as a vim-plugin :)
You will be tempted to think that by learning how to use (neo)VIM your coding skills will magically improve tenfold.
It won't
Wait really? Shit Iβm like 1 year into learning vim. What editor should I switch to that will magically make me a good coder?
Jokes aside, all of my favorite IDEs have an option to use VIM key bindings so learning VIM makes it easier to learn other IDEs.
That alone was enough to convince me to learn VIM
I like VSCodium, a vscode build without ms telemetry and such
sounds interesting enough to try, thanks! :D
itβs identical to vscode, except that a few extensions donβt work (notably, intellicode and the ms c/c++ extensions)
