Linked post is about vim.

The first post of this thread is about vim setups all being different causing problems.

The next post is about vim, configs and developers not conforming being a pain in the ass.

The next post is about you taking offense to his colourful comment ( he was poking fun btw, you shouldn't be offended )

The next post is me backing his point as having merit without the negative connotations. Specifically mentioning IDEs.

The next post is saying it's not just about writing code quicker but navigating and understanding quicker.

Then there's me again saying is how is a tricked out vim really any faster than an IDE to the point it matters.

Then there's you saying I don't understand the thread.

Are you trolling or just totally missing the point because I don't agree with you? Either way, my comment was totally on point for this thread but I'd rather be arguing the point than responding to silly off-topic comments.




Have you seriously missed that this is a discussion about general customization of things such as keybinds/mappings, shells, dotfiles etc? Somehow you turned that into "IDEs vs vim" and you were the only one mentioning IDEs. Customization can happen in IDEs too, you know...


Listen, I get that you're outraged that I've had the audacity to question the worth of customisations but nitpicking an example doesn't encompass the entire argument doesn't detract from the point that this is a thinking mans game.

As it stands I'm not trying to take your toys from you. If you can take care of yourself, do what you like. If you are likely to need some assistance you'll likely annoy anyone who needs to touch your computer.
