    Using an ide to bigger things, and then just nano to edit or creat simple things. … and bat to view. I cant really see why i should make the effort to learn vim or its like

      I was in the same boat for few years but I was on windows using Notepad++.

      When I switched to Linux I thought nano was fine (and it is) but mostly because I didn’t want to bother with the possibility of “getting stuck” in vim. Now i even use vim to take notes in meetings at work. It’s just efficient once you’ve developed the muscle memory.

      If you want to try it, spend an hour going through the tutorial, vimtutor. (I think it works anywhere there’s vim already installed).
