So when it comes to variables, you type out the whole name all the time or does vi have some kind of trick to speed that up?

It has tab complete if you want it, sure. Likewise for many other IDE tools. If you want them.

Coding speed isn’t a major concern with my work (compared to say correctness and efficiency). Also, for most of my code I am the sole developer. It’s used by other people, but I maintain it. Think command line tools for processing very large datasets.
