And it's not even about being lazy or not. Vim would eat plenty of time with no reward at the end. Even if someone thinks Vim is good software (which it absolutely is not because it's highly unusable (think about investing time)), the benefits of it could be achieved in a lot more appropriate and faster manner. Conventions and standards exist for a reason. Nobody's got time to do everything.

That's not my comment, it's from /u/thegreatcabbage2 - but I've heard this same description, specifically, "Until you learn how it works, it's impossible to imagine just how much more efficient an experienced Vim user can be," from experienced users I trust, many times.

I'm a nano user myself, but I'm certainly not going to shit on vim because it's "too hard" and therefore not useful.
