就我个人而言,

我发现许多终端文本编辑器有时无能为力。我会花时间买一个吗?绝对的!我将继续学习一个IDE。当然，最终还是要看个人喜好。

投资学习VIM(我的首选)或EMACS会有回报。

我建议访问Derek Wyatt的网站，浏览VIM导师，并查看Steve Oualine的PDF书。

与我使用过的其他编辑器相比，Vim可以帮助我更快地移动和编辑。我的工作ide在允许人们做的事情上是非常有限的，并且通常致力于特定的环境。有些任务仍然需要我重新访问IDE(例如调试器，它是IDE的编译部分)。

不要被命令的数量吓到，我还没有遇到过使用最多几十个命令的人。我发现它是不可或缺的，因为当我想到代码时，我想到的是文本，转到思考鼠标只会把我弄糊涂。最大的技巧，我认为，是一次学习一点，不要犹豫，玩玩-撤销功能是很好的探索它的行为。

此外，如果您深入了解它，vim是可编写脚本的。可能性是无限的。

(是的，所有这些也适用于emacs…)

I too put off learning vi or vim for many years. Matter of fact, I use to make fun of the "vi guys" who always seemed to be doing finger aerobics. Then, as I moved away from Windows and over to Linux as my primary OS, I had to become more familiar with vim. It was a learning curve and it still is. After 9 years of using vim on a daily basis I still find myself learning new and faster ways of doing things. What I use to think of as "finger aerobics" actually turned out to be an extremely efficient way of being productive. I can now do a whole lot more code development in a whole lot less time and effort than I ever did prior to vim. And as I'm sure you know vim runs on about every platform out there so you always have it when you need it. Also, if you like GUI's they have GUI versions for most platforms. Personally, just like the mouse, I don't want to see a menu bar, scroll bars, etc. cluttering up my editing window(s).

如果你决定尝试一下vim，我强烈推荐O'Reilly的《vi Editor Pocket Reference》一书。它很便宜，如果你只是学习vi (vim)，它是很棒的。完整的vim书籍也很好，但口袋参考给你所有的基础知识，快速高效。

浏览vimtutor只花了我30分钟，这足以让我熟悉vim。每一秒都是值得的。

不。学习vim比努力更有价值。
