The Efficiency of Vim
(bencornia.com)
I learned to touch type in fifth grade. We would shuffle into the computer lab and open up Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing1. I peaked at about 80 wpm. Today, I type somewhere between 60-70 wpm. If I am writing code then that drops to 40-50 wpm. It bothers me that I can't crack 100 wpm but what I have come to realize is that text editing is less about typing speed and more about typing efficiency.

Automating the Vim Workplace (2020)

I majorly use two tools for my coding workflow and one of them is GVim (on Windows). It’s my primary choice for editing text for ten years now and in that time, I’ve picked up several habits and tricks that made me very productive.

Trying out Zed after more than a decade of Vim/Neovim
(sgoel.dev)
I'm currently drafting this blog post in Zed. After using Vim/Neovim for more than 15 years, I recently decided to try out something new. I don't know if this little experiment will work, or if I'll run back to my trusty Neovim, but hey, what I do know is that I'd like to find out.

Vim is a cast iron skillet
(eamoncaddigan.net)
Vim was released as “Vim” in 1991, and is an extended version of vi, which itself has been around since 1976. Its default interface—the one I use daily—is a “text user interface” that’s launched in a terminal emulator (i.e., the “command line”2). Vim has mouse support, but it’s superfluous because everything can be accomplished through commands typed on the keyboard.

Ask HN: What Vim habits did you need to unlearn?
(ycombinator.com)
If you don't use Vim, know that it has probably the steepest learning curve of any text editor (or at least non-IDE editors) and many users pick up habits along the way they need to unlearn.

Switching to the meow modal editing system from evil Emacs

The first modal editing system I used was vim. After the initial learning curve that comes with getting used to not being able to type in every mode, it introduced me to a few key ideas that I feel lead to decidedly more efficient editing

If you use vim, you’re probably just like me. You spend way too much time customising your config files to optimize your keyboard shortcuts and make things look pretty. If you’re new to vim or have yet to customise your config files, I apologise. By the time you’ve read this post, you’ll have a new addiction.
