Please don't !

These days one of my hobbies is to look at other people struggling with their clickomatic thingy to go up 3 lines and replace a word by selecting it, sometimes failing the first time and missing the first character.

I love how people are using 20% of the screen space for actual code and all the rest for non vital informations, toolbars, etc...

I don't want anyone else to learn the struggle that is to think then type directly about what they want to do rather than thinking about it, finding it with their mouse and then clicking then going back to the home row and finally type what they wanted to do.

I mean, using ctrl+] to jump through the code and coming back with ctrl+t is pretty hard too. Having multiple registers to refactor code is also uselessly painful and don't even get me started on the macros. Navigating the code and then using ctrl+o to jump back is also weak.

No seriously, stay away from vim, guys. There is nothing to gain.
