VS Code vs. Vim?

Oh look, he got into vim so fast; now only he could remember how to get out of it!

Two guys speaking at the same time is nice because we can't understand either of them.

As a Vim user, I will say its not about the editor, its honestly about the key bindings that make you, the programmer so fast. Its about getting away from the mouse, its about programming at the speed of thought. They have Vim plug ins for vs-code, intellij, pycharm, etc. You dont have to actually use Vim itself, matter of fact its quite impractical for advanced development unless you have a very, very highly configured setup. That wannabe obviously has absolutely no clue what he is babbling about and should be disregarded as a meaningless waste of bandwidth.

MSPaint loads so much faster than Photoshop. Screw Photoshop

VS Code is so slow... on this 105 AD paper, it takes forever to boot up. Pencil on paper is the way to go. You can start scribing immediately ;)

I like when my apps take a little bit to load, it lets me slouch in my chair and take a sip of my drink ☕

You have nice hair. Enjoy it while you have it. As a bald man I concur 😂

[jestempies]

I guess if you start and close your editor all the time it makes a huge difference. I literally close my IDE perhaps once every 1-2 weeks when I restart things.

"You have beautiful hair ... really ... enjoy that while you have it" LMAO

[adamclarkson]

Yeah but it takes me 27 minutes to figure out how to exit Vim anytime accidentally open it. So there are trade offs 😂

My Surface Go booted VS Code faster than his "Mac"... Also, as we all know, how fast you can code in an editor depends only on how fast you can launch it.

[GabeHandle]

I've never once in my career felt the full Visual Studio IDE was loading too slow. I spend the bulk of my time writing or troubleshooting code and not launching editors.

Vim is certainly a learning curve, but because there is no mouse integration, that means your hands are always on your keyboard, so when you do get comfortable with all the commands and macros, it is very efficient. Definitely not for everyone tho

[Angelo-vbdg]

"Beautiful hair, enjoy it while you have it" words to live by as a man, that's why I'm enjoying my really long hair :)

[acidhauss]

I love Scott hanselman so much - keep sticking it to these young whippersnappers

[alirezajadidi]

Its not just the editor, it’s also how beautifully it fits with other terminal tools like tmux

[alicem]

Everything has their uses. All editors and languages are beautiful creations that someone (or many) put a lot of thought and effort into. We're blessed to have so many options shared freely with us. 💖

Once you go VIM you'll never go back. The arrow keys seem so far away and inconvenient when you use a none VIM editor.

[intrexballistica]

yeah, I wonder why the text editor made my Microsoft would be slow on the apple computers. 🤔
