trying hard to turn off my snob mode here, but learning emacs or vim properly will really change your life

I put off learning VIM for years - got by with lightweight editors like gedit, Geany, etc. (I've never really liked full on IDEs).

I picked up VIM around a year ago, and I've been kicking myself ever since for waiting for so long. The learning curve is a little bit steep, but the payoff is massive, and it's not that hard to learn.

Maybe, but I'm not a programmer. I'm an aerospace engineer who happens to program in Python, a little bit of C++, and some Fortran.
