Very new to vim and I have to say I was intimidated at first by the idea of using vim as my main text editor for coding (primarily in cpp and python). I thought I’d be overwhelmed by the sheer depth of the software and all the commands. But after spending a few days setting up some basic qol plugins and using vim for a bit, I find myself easing into it quite well. It’s quite elegant and even though there’s a lot for me to learn and get used to, I actually look forward to getting better at it. I also need to mention the phenomenal “:help” documentation. It’s detailed and so far has been quite pedagogical to me.
