Im considering spending some serious time learning one of the above. Two principle engineers I work with exclusively use them, and watching them work is incredible, the speed they move and get things done is pure wizadry. Can anyone learn this skill? For what it’s worth, the alternative is learning VScode. I’ve exclusive used Android Studio in my career.

  • I use tmux instead of a bunch of vim plugins. What I can’t do inside the editor, I hop over to the other half of the terminal to do with tools in bash. The great part is that tmux can run in just about all the places vim can, and you also run ssh within it instead of the reverse. Whereas getting all your vim plugins onto each server you want to work in is a major PITA.

    You can get a similar experience with a split vim screen and the :term command, but tmux offers more versatility IMX.
