Do you use vim as your default text editor? If you do not, have you ever been in a situation you could do nothing but use vim?

For quick edits in the terminal? Sure.

As my main IDE? No way. I'm too used to GUI IDEs like VSCodium and PyCharm.

I just find it easier to navigate with a mouse. With just keyboard, I find I overshoot the block of code I'm looking for, whereas scroll wheel gives me more control.

    } jump forward to next empty line is really quick for navigating, also if you know the identifier then /myVarnnnn is much faster than scrolling and gets you ready to edit. Otherwise 5j;;;; also works of course.
