Still the gold standard after 30 years

Been using Vim since the 90s. It's on EVERY Linux system - no installation needed. The muscle memory is real; I catch myself hitting Escape in other apps all the time. Yes, Neovim exists, but Vim's simplicity and ubiquity can't be beaten. Learn it once, use it forever.
