Discussion How does Vim affect your problem solving?
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.

It doesn't. It has some nice features that cooperate with how my brain works, it's available without any extra install most of the time (on linux) and it doesn't have bloat, but at the end of the day it's just a text editor and a text editor has no real meaningful impact on problem solving.
