I've tried vim on and off for the past... almost 10 years.
I'll use it for months at a time, tell myself it's the editor for me, then go off it.
Not sure what sort of time commitment is needed, or if it's just the wrong editor for me.

Like I tried eclipse, but it was laggy. I tried Notepad++, but it is too GUI. I tried VSCode but getting it to be much better than vim requires tracking down a bunch of questionable extensions or the cool extension everyone is buzzing about doesn't have FORTRAN support.
I dunno. I use vim. I don't like vim. I don't like any editor. It is there, it doesn't do what I want it to all the time, but it reads and writes files, autocommands are easy to set up, and I can just plop whatever unix commands I want in there. vim is pretty boring and basic, but I go back to it because it doesn't do anything actively annoying to me.
What makes me happy to use vim is the odd few hours here and there in visual studio with a large project loaded.
