Vim has become the go-to text editor for users across various domains. With its quick and efficient editing capabilities, many users consider Vim their primary text editor and daily driver. Non-technical users find value in Vim's ability to reformat spreadsheet-style data into multiple lines with a non-standard delimiter, while developers rely on it for making quick edits to files like .bash_profile or editing text directly on Linux-based servers. Although its prevalence has decreased with the adoption of continuous deployment, Vim remains an indispensable tool for configuration management and development teams when debugging deployed software on servers. Additionally, Vim is widely used as a convenient editor in remote Linux servers where a full development environment may not be available. The streamlined text entry and manipulation capabilities of Vim make it the preferred choice for many programmers and network engineers when editing text files. Despite the learning curve, some users consider Vim their dream editor due to its potential for efficient text editing and coding speed. Moreover, Vim enables shared development workflows such as pair programming by providing a consistent Tmux/Vim setup on shared development machines.
