Imagine being on your deathbed thinking: "Configuring vim was so fun. Totally worth it". I sometimes feel that most people on this forums are under 24 years of age. So sad to read these comments. So much to do, so many interesting things.... but people enjoy configuring text editors...

If people enjoy it, why do you think they would regret it later? It sounds like you just don't enjoy it, which is ok.

A lot of regret actually comes from enjoying something and then later realising that it was stupid and a waste of time. Time that you would have liked to spend on a more useful endeavour.

A lot of your personal regret might come from that. I think it's important to note that there are many people who can look back fondly at times they were simply enjoying themselves, even if that time was not strictly 'useful'.

The joyful days of configuring vim. You are trolling me at this point.

Guilty as charged ;)

But still beter than being on a deathbed thinking: "Spending time on internet telling people I know nothing about what they should do was totally worth it".
