The headline to this story is "Vim is saving me hours of work..." which is a lot like "Find out how to lose 10lbs in one week" or "You too can earn thousands of dollars a week with this easy trick".

And trends go around in IT just like any other field. So before someone jumps into vim to save themselves hours of work they should know that it requires practice use to use well.

How would you rewrite the headline based on the article's contents? Keep in mind it has to be 60 or less characters too.

I wouldn't say I am learning Vim due to it being a trend. I'm learning and using it based on problems I discovered using other editors to write books and courses.
