So, don't learn vim because it's marketahare is "small"? Larger than xcode, atom, sublime and even notepad++ when you add neovim? That logic makes no sense and even if it did, the chart you linked still shows vim to be one of the largest is the world
> you have to reconfigure basic keybinds like the arrow keys "because it could break a system not used since the 1970s!"
Never had to do that on Nixos, Ubuntu, Amazon Linux, RHEL, MacOS or WSL
For my workflow with lots of context switching between code and commands, using only a terminal is more efficient use of my time. VSCode cannot do that in a way that works for me
But ignoring all of that, many use [neo]vim because they simply enjoy it. Enjoyment does not need justification
