        You don’t grok vi.

        That’s fine and you don’t need to. But don’t knock it if you haven’t even taken time to learn it.

        Yesterday I needed to insert a tab character on every line from 2 to 31,000 something. I made the line selection keystrokes in Cursor - it immediately crashed so hard I had to restart my PC.

        Vim did it in a few milliseconds.

            You always have to learn the processes in a new company, this is just part of that. And if they don’t give you the explanations, training and time to learn, that’s a good sign you wouldn’t want to be at this company.

            Maybe also speak to some of your new colleagues, whether they had similar trouble and see if you can improve the process for the next person.

                    What makes stuff like the [X] button on the corner and Alt+F4 intuitive?
                    Multiple years of having used MS Windows and similar looking software as a student.

                    They got the marketing part right here, at least.

                    But if we are being inclusive, nothing really is intuitive.


                    I have seen BTech graduates struggle with installing software using the Wizard that is so omnipresent on Windows, so I don’t expect anything to be intuitive at this point.

                This thread seems entirely filled with people who seem to not grasp my core point.

                We grasp the core point: vim is not typical. This is not insightful.

                What we care more about is the link to the jobs portal of the company there will be an opening at soon that uses vim as it’s standard dev tool chain.

            You can learn enough Vim to be productive in it in about 3 minutes.

            You can install some plugins; your experienced coworkers have probably figured that out for you.

            It’s ok to be a junior, but you should investigate things from time to time. You may even surprise yourself.

            But you do you.

                Last post from me. I have given you accurate information in good faith. Since you’ve decided to become aggressive and hostile, I can tell that you’re an unpleasant person and I’m glad you’re not on my team.

                Good luck and have fun out there.

            Vscode definitely can’t handle large files like vim can. I can open files that are multiple GBs in vim without issue. Vscode definitely cannot.
