I'm a freelance linux it nerd. I figured I better get used to vim/nvim because every company I visited had different tooling available but their servers ALWAYS had vim.

Now I have a nice .vim setup I can easily copy/paste and work easily and fast. I've become quite adept in the years following that decision.

Plus, as a freelance dude using vim quickly and flying through code bases makes it really seem like I know what I'm doing / hacker type .... I don't. And I'm no hacker..... But the customer is happy soooo :-)

P.s. I'm currently trying out the Zed editor with vim bindings. They are emaculate!
