A little background. I am familiar with vi and use it only when I ssh into a server.
But I never really felt it was more convenient or an improvement over a GUI based text editor or IDE on my development machine. Eg- gedit for simple text editing, Android Studio for android development, Atom for python coding. Everything works out of the box with minimal tweaking required.
Genuine questions:
-At what point on the learning curve do you feel using vim is an advantage for speed of development, if at all?
-The common argument of only keyboard, no mouse when using vim... I don't get. Is using a mouse such a major factor that slows you down or affects you negatively?
