The 5 stages of vim are Dismissal, Curiosity, Config, Sunk Cost, Bragging
@Sup3rlum
With the amount of articles mentioning that ThePrimeagen inspired them to do (Neo)Vim, they should change their logo to his face. I mean so many people got inspired, its awesome

I had a coworker who used vim motions in Vs code and the way he worked looked so fast but I always thought "why would I want that when Rider/WebStorm has so much more?" Then I started watching a kind of funny YouTuber using Vim and it lit the FOMO in me. I'm not using Vim on my work & personal machine - badly - but every time I learn about something new I literally sit back in awe. Thanks Prime.

Liked, subscribed and saved to my playlist. Currently trying my best to learn vim keybindings, tmux, shell scripting while juggling through college courses. I couldn't be more thankful for this video. Hope you upload as frequently as possible. Cheers!
@MiranJenkins
The fact that you ALWAYS just partially highlight text grinds my gears
@RenderingUser
i had no idea about t or f in vim.... ive now made a new breakthrough. thanks prime
@nekoill
Like a lot of people I found out that at some point dealing with a Linux machine, you WILL inevitably open vi/Vim and have get out if somehow, so I figured out might as well learn to use it and it turned out to be so good that a lot of programs also used either Vim keys/motions or straight up emulated Vim. Haven't regretted spending like what, less than an hour to learn the basics, improved my entire life

Great article, I love the way the guy expresses himself

Two stages of VIM-mode in code: 1) "I need :s, % motion, * motion, if I had it it would be so much easier" (install code) 2) "noooo, the myriad of clipboards [dd/ctrl-x/ctrl-v/shift-del/shift-ins"+p] bit my shiny one yet another time" (I rarely use hjkl, mostly when joing lines so I can do jJjjJjjJ)
@sneakypython
YouTube was recommending this video to me since this all day but I only watch when Prime reacts
@Oler-yx7xj
Started learning Vim yesterday. That's so fucking genius. Also vimtutor is the best teaching material I've seen in a while, love it
@bnorrish
Vim is like wine. No one tries it for the first time and says “hey this is actually pretty nice.”
@MarcosMoyano
I'm an emacs user but I can relate to the 5 stages.
@billalexander949
This is such a great video on MANY levels! Obstacles and adversity are the reasons we grow...if we step up to the challenge and refuse to quit. Here's reality; If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking till you do succeed! It has proven to be true in so many ways. Thanks for this video.
@ChamplooMusashi
The main thing stopping me from picking up vim personally is just that I have a long list of shit to learn and I am already ok in vscode. It doesn't make sense to spend one of my few long spans of free time to learn a new editor instead of a new language/framework.
@Arcane_Ayush
it's the exact same for me ( ThePrimeagen was the catalyst for me too ) and my journey was exactly the same except at stage 3 it was shorter for me but devastating at the same time XD
