Having muddled on and off with <code>vi</code> since the late 90s, decided on Vim. Once you break through its initial, steep, learning curve its truly life changing. Level up and become a text surgeon today.</p> <p>Vim is incredibly customisable. Its important to take the time to craft your own <a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bm4cs/dots/master/.config/nvim/init.vim"><code>vimrc</code></a>. Type <code>:options</code> to understand the various levers you can pull to make Vim your editor. Almost 15 years later, I&rsquo;m still constantly fine tuning things.</p>
