The funny thing is that I can't tell if you're talking about intellij or vs code from the first paragraph.

I find vscode a horrifying experience that is forced upon me because of poor choices made elsewhere in the org.

I'm slowly picking up vim to replace it but I'd rather just not be forced out of my editor I still use daily (sublime.)

In hindsight I wish I learned vim instead of sublime.

I sometimes wish I hadn’t learned vim, because it limits the tools I’m happy using. Since I’ve built the vim muscle memory, every other text editing experience feels crippled, so I actively avoid products that don’t support at least basic vim key bindings. Luckily the list of products with vim bindings keeps growing.

So true. Like when you find muscle memory has injected :wq into your file in notepad.
