Overall Satisfaction with Vim
Vim is something that many of our programmers and network engineers use to edit text files. Some of us are using it because it's the default text editor for many of our systems; I use it because it is my preference. The product is mostly used because it can speed up the process of coding or editing text in comparison to Notepad or other text editors.
- Fast editing.
- Modular capabilities.
- Steep learning curve.
- Too many options (overwhelming).
- Less time spent editing.
- More consistent edits.
- Notepad++, Atom and Microsoft Visual Studio Code
I prefer Vim simply because it's as simple as apps like Notepad, Notepad++, or gedit, but as feature rich as Microsoft Visual Studio. The startup time is quick, the response time is quick, it never freezes. Vim always "just works." Vim can be downloaded in a few seconds (if it's not already installed on your device) and it works the same everywhere.
