Seriously happy to read younger people praising and understanding how we can go even further by investing some time in learning this that aren't easy.

I would recommend you to check evil-mode or spacemacs if possible. There is a lot of great concepts behind the usage of hjkl for moving around that Vim users sure pay a lot of respect to.

heck you even gain the magic of not getting a tendinitis when coding, because of the almighty spacebar commands!

thanks for the article!

Hey Julien, thanks for the comment - there's a lot that can be achieved with a little patience and willingness to venture into the unknown.

I've heard a lot from the Uses-both-Vim-and-Emacs community about Evil-mode, so I will definitely check it out! As for the tendinitis, there's actually a phenomenon called the Emacs Pinky and after maybe an hour or two of work, sure enough, my finger starts to get a bit sore.

Thank you!
