![]() The performance lag is both horrible and noticeble. Yep the hardware is still old, but it’s an i5 with 4 gigs of ram for god’s sake. It takes near 10s to load Atom, and around 7s to load VSCode on my 6 year old machine. The one thing which absolutely blows the hell out of me is the performance of both the editors. (Atom + VSCode) Editing at the Speed of CPU Once you master Vim you’d be moving around the code base like a ninja on steroids with an iron man suit.īeat that AtCode. This eliminates the need for complex piano like finger manipulation for shortcuts.Ĭommands can also be chained, cit takes the cursor between two html tags and puts you in Insert mode, and d$ deletes to the end of the line where ever you are. Hjkl is the vim equivalent of the arrow keys and they are used for navigation in Normal mode and to type literal hjkl in Insertion mode. The Normal is well your Normal mode where you navigate around the codebase, the Insert mode is where you actually write your code, and Visual mode is where you select your code for various selecting reasons. You do not ever need a mouse, ever to use Vim and hence your hands always stay on the keyboard ![]() Vim is built around the core idea of reducing keystrokes and the concept of a mouse is as foreign to it as rain at the center of the Earth. Their is something fundementally wrong about using your mouse when writing code, you have to take your hands off the keyboard. An editor who wouldn’t let me write anything on my first try, who would make me forcefully close the terminal window because it won’t let me out. Then came VSCode faster than Atom, with all the bells and whistles Atom had plus a couple more. It had awesome plugins, awesome themes, awesome autocomplete and everything else anybody could ask for. ![]() Then came Atom, insanely slow but awesome. I really loved the bump it gave me from using notepad (my first editor). I had been a long time user of Sublime ever since I learnt to code. ![]()
