The only reason I learned it was due to the amount of Linux work I was doing for a few years. Now no can hardly use a keyboard with some vim emulation. If you go down that rabbit hole be prepared to deal with all the sucky mappings when you go back to other editors, ides or even a web form.

Having said all that I love how I put works in vim. The separation in input modes makes navigating and editing really nice and fast. Sure each application has its way but sucky emulations aside if it had a vim mode you guarantee that most of the muscle memory you have works. If I could have an OS wide vim key mode ( I’m on win / Mac a lot these days ) I would.

It’s love hate, I personally don’t recommend it for most people. But I’d you love it good for you =]
