I have tried making that switch many times and lasted for a few months and then one day I find I've been back at the CLI for a week without noticing.
replyI love CLI tools that effectively give me the things an IDE would offer such as astgrep for refactoring for example. zoekt with a browser does pretty good indexed searches. fzf can be used to build up almost any useful way of selecting things that you can imagine. So the CLI becomes my IDE.
IDEs made the mistake of locking the user into desktop-traditional keybinding paradigm instead of using a more flexible one which would allow for implementation of both vim and desktop paradigms.
(don’t respond with “well they have vim mode plugins”. no they don’t. they’re hacky and unreliable)
replyMy usual saying is that if all you wanted from vim was a few keybindings, you weren’t really using vim’s capabilities to any extent that matters anyway.
