I’ve tried vim on and off during college but never really had the time to fully get working with it. As it turns out the stress of two degrees is not conducive to “fun activities”. Now that I have a real job ™️, I’ve decided to finally try and use it this week full stop and I genuinely feel like a programming chad. There’s still a lot I’ll need to learn and probably overtime I’ll discover some inefficiency in how I’m using it now but it really does just feel good. I understand the hype now.

    I tried vim keybinds in an IDE, and it sucked.

    It wasn’t even that advanced usage, but it just didn’t work.

    Instead I know run language servers in neovim.

        Keybindings are OK, but anything beyond movement was way less ok.

        Don’t remember if macros or buffers were implemented correctly.

          Buffers do work in IntelliJ. Not sure about macros since I don’t use them. Haven’t checked VSCode. I found the IntelliJ plugin was better though.
