Initially I learned vim so that I can easily write and edit files in servers and also to prevent mistakenly typing kjasbd 😄 which is common when using nano.

I used VS Code for development paired up with couple of js, python, php and other extensions, but the amount of memory it consumes is immoderate. Then I switched to sublime, installed some packages much better performance and it was okay.

Obsessed with performance I ended up doing whats called pro-grammer move. Spent hours-days setting up a vim configuration.
