my friend had a good sticker on his laptop. “typing is not the bottleneck”

you may be more productive editing code in vim but when it comes to engineering text editing is not the most important thing to be solving for

Of course. I don't even know if I'm actually more productive in editing text.

I just know that subjectively, going from speaking a language with powerful concepts, to using the super crude tools available in most editors, just feels sluggish.

I highly doubt it was actually a good investment time wise to master vim, but I salary really enjoy messing with editors so it was partially for fun.

I always wonder how good and productive people who claim this are in reality. Personally I consider typing as a strong bottleneck for my productivity. I type all the day, and the less time I waste on transfering my thoughts into commands, the more time I have for focusing on the important parts. Not all typing is for textediting, but editors like vim&emacs are not limited to textediting.
