First of all. This is not another "how do I exit vim?" shitpost.
I've been using (neo)vim for about two years and I started to notice, that I,m basically unable to use non-vim editors. I do not code a lot, but I write a lot of markown. I'd like to use dedicated tools for this, but their vim emulators are so bad. So I'm now stuck with my customized neovim, devoid of any hope of abandoning this strange addiction.
Any help or advice?
Dang. Hot take! I don't think I've heard anyone else say that.
You clearly actually completed VimTutor.
I have several complaints about the VSVim plugin, but it's easily the most feature complete Vim-like plugin I've ever encountered.
I'm trying to pay you a compliment, but I am doing it poorly.
As a legend among my Vim using peers, I can see how VSVim can be frustrating, to someone who truly leverages Vim.
Your annoyance with VSVim outs you as one of the true power users.
Yeah it sounds like you're trying to mock me but it mostly just comes across as confusing. Maybe it's just sarcasm? Hard to tell.
Anyway, it's pretty well-known in the vim community that VSVim is pretty lackluster vim emulation. There are much better examples of vim emulation out there, such as evil for emacs.
It honestly has nothing to do with being a "power user". It's simply false to claim that vscode has more features than vim (which is what the parent comment was claiming), and this should be evident to anyone with more than the most basic, surface-level understanding of vim (more than vimtutor, basically). Vim is a lot more than HJKL and
ciw.I'm not annoyed with VsVim really since I honestly don't really think about it as it's not all that relevant. I do find it a bit irksome when people make false or misleading claims about vim from a place of ignorance about what it actually is.
It's a strange phenomenon with vim in particular, where many people are exposed to it at their periphery, read some reductive claim about it online, and parrot said claim all over the place as though it were fact. Perhaps the nature of being a tool that most are exposed to but few actually learn.
Holy shit. I would never claim that. Lol.
And I was expanding on my original comment, which was not replying to you, so there you have it.
Makes sense. I only really replied there to help anyone reading along.
