I love vim. I am not one of those users who has a huge number of plugins and takes part in an extended eco-system that they perhaps do not fully understand -- for the last ~20 years of my life I have been trying to learn a little more vim each time I use it. I often don't, but it just has so many surprises that when I feel frustrated, I try to work out the "vimmish" way of doing things. Occasionally I give into temptation and take this to extremes -- for example, writing macros that look like alphabet soup to make certain coding tasks easier. I'm never sure if this is really a good use of my time -- but I do enjoy it. I'm so grateful it exists -- it's everywhere, insanely fast, lightweight, and I've never crashed it.

Now, if there is one feature I would add to Vim, it would be "cat detection". I have a ginger cat that is irritatingly in the habit of jumping on the keyboard when he wants food.

You can only imagine how, in command mode, he effectively summons the textual equivalent of the Nine Hells of Ba'ator upon my open documents if I am not quick enough...
