  • It is really a good idea to learn vim. It’s everywhere, particularly useful when connecting to remote servers.

    In order to use it for all your development needs, you’ll probably resort to multiple plugins. The advantage: wizardry, the disadvantage: you get used to it, and won’t work on vanilla remote installations.

    I like to use vim for every day scripts and remote text editing, while using helix as main code editor.

    Helix is not yet as popular, but it comes with batteries included. Many of the plugins that you’d install in vim come as a feature in helix. It is also a modal editor, and it varies slightly in it’s use, but a nice addon to your toolbelt.
