Why aren't you using Vim?

Why aren't you using Vim for all of your text editing needs?

Using Vim (or Emacs if you're a macfag) literally allows you to get better at editing text with time. Time spent with the editor gains rent.

Compare this to using an IDE, you will always be as good at editing text as you were when you first started. The ability to get better at editing text doesn't exist with IDEs.

Yea. A lot of shit in Emacs I think is really cool. The possibilities are endless, it seems. But, the implementation seemed shitty as hell.

I'm fine losing some of the cool things about Emacs because in Vim I don't have to hold down Control just to move the fucking cursor.

I've seen an analogy that Emacs is used in chords, like in music. But, in my experience using it, it just seemed like a random mish-mash of bullshit I had to memorize for each little thing I did. I couldn't derive any of it.+
