Distraction-free - as a developer, I value having a distraction-free zone to concentrate on a task I am working on. Through the use of a high-level scripting language (VimScript), one can compose built-in commands to create macros that tweak the different modes on Vim to one’s suiting.ģ. Highly Customizable - the ability to configure your editor down to a keystroke is an immensely valuable feature. Unlike most of the existing code editors which are Electron-based like VSCode (which is essentially a browser instance) or running on JVM like IntelliJ, it is optimized through the use of low-level machine specific code.Ģ. Performance - Vim’s core is implemented in C which makes it blazingly fast and lightweight. Here are a few reasons that make Vim outstanding among other editors:ġ.
That said, the rewards of mastering it quickly outweigh the initial cost of learning it. Vim’s modality being its most powerful feature also make it incredibly difficult to master. As the word modal suggests, it supports various modes of execution allowing one to achieve text manipulation objectives using powerful and finely-tuned built-in commands and user-defined macros. Vim is a modal, highly customizable and lightweight text/code editor that comes preinstalled on most *nix machines.
