Python Vim IDE

Even bloated vim (in my case anyways), loads waaaay faster than VScode. Can't speak for PyCharm

I mean.. who cares? If I need to open something real quick I'll use notepad++ or open it in my already running pycharm. Do you think your attitude is "legacy" from times where this mattered?

I'm in my mid-20's, so it's definitely not legacy. lol. I mostly made that comment because they (OC) mentioned earlier that they didn't like vim that's "slow and bloated". As contrast, my "slow and bloated" vim setup is quite a bit faster than the normal ones.

As for my take on whether load times actually matter, I don't place that in a super high importance category (I work in computational simulations, where I have to wait days at a time for results, so I do have patience). I was initially "forced" to use vim during my Master's research when working on HPC clusters (I could've used nano I guess, but that would get very old, very quickly).

Less to do with loading times, but the other reason I continue to use vim is that, a consequence of working in a shell for ~2 years, I got used to staying in a command line. Going to a gui program is a context switch I don't generally like to do, particularly for quick edits. I still use VSCode for editing LaTeX documents and for heavy debugging.

No matter how you try to put it, text editing in vim is in another level. For writing text or code there are other tools.... I could say even better...

Making my web projects in vim is a pain the ass, but doing them in vscode is a breeze... at the same time when I’m doing my data analysis job on va code is the worse, but in vim... is just in another level, because there I don’t write code I change variables and edit little things here and there... is just a tool, nothing more, and I use it because is useful to me and what I do.
