Title: Dear HN community,<p>since there are quite some comments highlighting the effectiveness of a good VIM setup and muscle memory of 10+ years, I would like to know your opinion on starting to get into it now (end of 2022).<p>For context: I&#x27;m a backend developer with 10+ years of experience, mostly using Java IDEs, and lately some vscode (for go, typescript, rust). I have some knowledge in vim, and can use it for basic text editing, but I still use the arrows for navigation, and found the &quot;hjkl&quot; navigation difficult. I&#x27;m somewhat experienced using linux and the terminal, and would be curious to dig deeper into more terminal-based workflows.<p>The question is: do you think it&#x27;s worth the effort to learn using VIM more deeply today? The goal would be to at least be able to do the go and rust coding in vim, it doesn&#x27;t need to be a full Java IDE. Bonus points for an opinion about &quot;If yes, do you think VIM is still fine, or rather neovim? Or something fresh like helix?&quot;<p>Thanks a lot!
