@dcz There is a pretty huge gap between the last two options.

@alerque Sadly, Fosstodon only lets me create 4 answers.

This ain't gonna become a scientific poll :(

@dcz

I know mastodon only allows 4 options in a poll. I would have put the option:

I only know how to quit vim. Nothing else.

@dcz I selected a handful. Even though I have almost a decade of experience using vim. The “powerful” features like macros and other things were too obtuse and required too much thinking before seeing results of the changes. Other commands are just not discoverable unless I take time to do tutorials.

I switched to #HelixEditor probably 3 years ago and the multi-selection is way more powerful For Me (others may argue it’s less powerful than macros) because I actually use it without needing to think upfront what my actions need to be. I can see what’s happening to the selections live! Also the same defaults, and which-key like helpful popups are helpful for discovery.

@brk The multiple selections are why I use Kakoune.

And also the object-verb syntax.

But let's be honest, I get the same job done with #KDE #Kate 's replace functionality.

@dcz a handful of commands but sufficient for it to be my daily driver.

@dcz Missed the poll, but my take is that I know enough to get coding tasks done faster than anyone using Visual Studio. :-D
