I know not everyone likes using vim but I thought those who do could share a good reason to get into it. For me its the repetition of the last change with the push of the dot key. Replace the current word with another and move the cursor to the next word you wish to replace. It makes the editor so versatile and feels very satisfying.

For me, the moment it clicked was the first time I used it on my laptop. It was just so darn comfortable, and made me realize I was hesitant to do certain work without a mouse until that moment. My hands had to move around so much less, and that made for a much more enjoyable experience.

Yeah, using the console on my laptop made it so much more usable.
