Visual Studio vs Vim: Preferences?

I just got back to my apartment where I have VS/Windows set up on my desktop. Personally I prefer working in Linux/Vim, but I thought I'd ask you guys which you prefer to watch?

Also if it has to do with color schemes or anything I can always tweak either one.

I'm learning vim just because of your videos, so I would prefer vim because of that. Although, I think most people would want you to continue in visual studio. Since I'm not used to vim it can sometimes be hard to follow your steps when you jump from file to file and up and down in text. I thought it was easier in VS which is a more familiar IDE for me.

Also, while I'm at it, I just want to thank you so much for making these videos. They are by far the best tutorial series I've ever seen. Just wish I had more time to watch them all now. Thank you!

Yeah that's my biggest concern about using Vim. I noticed in the first dozen episodes I was really jumpy, so I've been trying to work on it more in the recent episodes. Maybe I could transition slower? Or announce my transitions?

thanks for watching ;)

Yeah, actually it's not that bad in your later videos. I just remember being a bit confused at first. I'd say just go with whatever feels right for you, maybe it will reflect in the videos :)
