I tried a couple of times and it’s still magic to see anyone able to use it properly

I’ll just stick to VScode for now I guess

    I have about 30 years of my career left. That’s not enough time for the return on investment of learning VIM to payout.

      Eh. I know the basics. I can open, do some very basic editng, save and close. That’s about as much as is really needed, right?

          I can do it, too.

          But I learned a few key steps in the process are: hit Ctrl Q, hit Ctrl C, hit Escape a few times, swear, take a breather, remember you’re in VIM and are now (accidentally rather then due to any correct move) out of INSERT mode, type :q.

          Then you go to the sofa and put yourself in the fetal position.
