Text Editor

Vim is my favourite text editor (I use Neovim). It has changed completely how I interact with text. Any editor that forces you to use a mouse is wasting your time.

Think of using Vim commands as composing sentences. Take a "verb"' d (delete) + a "subject" w (word) and a whole word is deleted. It's easier than pressing ctrl + shift + right arrow + delete in a normal editor.

Vim spoiled me to the point that I use vim-like movement to browse the web (vimium).
