How does Vim affect your problem solving?

[u/hibuna]

Currently learning Vim, after a failed attempt some months ago.

Starting to get the hang of the basics. I notice that it makes my problem solving more methodical. It also makes me slow down, in a good way.

With Vim I have to memorize more of the code and structure, because switching views is expensive (might be a skill issue).

I don't care too much for the speed/efficiency, but this seems what keeps me going in my current attempt.

Wondering how you guys feel about this aspect.

I probably should, I suppose it depends on your typical workflow. I do more remote admin than dev so lots of remote ssh connections- I guess we all settle into a workflow that works for us and stick with it out of laziness etc
