It's been a long time I haven't used Vim. I left it in favor of Evil+Emacs a few years ago. And I don't recommend it to every single person I see.

The phrase "wasting time with Vim" was the thing that made me reply the way I did. Learning Vim properly has helped me every single step of my way.

So you don’t use vim as a programming environment/editor?

So not actually disagreeing with me, just stirring?

"Vim"? No. I don't use it anymore. The "Vim's Way"? I use it everyday!

Evil is a Vim implementation in Elisp, basically.
