    Vim would be the answer if what mattered was how fast we code. What matters is how well we think. There’s no keyboard shortcut for that.

        @aral May not be best programming environment (rather fond of IntelliJ) but is best text editor for me: means being in less pain everyday.

        . @aral Actually that may also be the reason I am still with Xcode instead of e.g. @appcode. I spend most of the time just … thinking.

        @aral I use Vim for everything because it allows me to edit text nearly as fast as I think without having to use trackpad/mouse.

        @aral thing is, if you have an RSI from mouse use, being able to edit text in a Vim-like way can potentially mean a LOT less pain.
