Indeed. I've been a vim user for almost two decades, and it's been a long, long time since I"ve had to spend time solving problems/optimizing my tooling. Yes it was a big up front investment, but it's paid off immensely. I don't think I'm anything special so please don't misunderstand this as a brag, but I routinely have people enjoy "watching" me use vim because I can fly around the codebase with lightning speed, often times I can have already followed code paths through several files before VS code is even loaded and ready to work on my coworkers machine. The only problem is for whatever reason if I know somebody is watching, I sometimes get stage fright and forget how to use vim for a few seconds at at time :-D

What kind of crappy machines do your coworkers have? VS code takes 2-3 seconds at most for me to load.

They mostly have macbooks (I think either M1 or M2?). I don't know if they are loaded with extensions or something that adds time to it, but it definitely takes longer than 2-3 seconds
