    At the end of the day, it’s a bit like a good editor setup. Sure, your crazy neovim skills might save you a minute or two here and there. But I’ve met excellent programmers that can code in anything, and be just as efficient as the Neovim nerds.

    Programming is not just about writing code, you spend a lot of time thinking about it, which is a huge part of the work.

      I think things like helix and neovim are more about the dopamine hit from hitting the exact right sequence of buttons to make the change you want

      Definitely feel faster using helix than vscode though, even just stuff like m+i+" (select all within quotes, brackets etc)
