    Doesn’t matter we will tell you either way.

    • Instead of simply shortcuts, vim uses “chords”. Every new shortcut I learn can be combined intuitively* with all the other shortcuts I know.
    • Because of this there’s no faster way to edit files than Vim in the hands of an experienced user.
    • this let’s me spend almost no time editing code, freeing up the rest of my time for swearing at piss poor documentation.

    * I use “intuitively” here in a way that not merely stretches, but outright abuses the definition of the word.

      It’s intuitive if your previous editor was ed(1) and you’re using an ADM-3A-like keyboard.
