Personally I don’t think it’s important. At least with computer science and engineering are concerned. Fun and coool , sure :)

    I'm on a dinky laptop that chugs with code editors. Learning vim feels important, saved for later.

    while that’s a massive argument and i love using vim on low powered machines and servers (and in general), it comes with the added bonus of being quite ubiquitous. so the moment you know vim motions, you can also use them in your note taking program of choice, and many others. vim motions really aren’t confined to vim :D
