I don't know vim. I can type reliably at around ~120wpm and ~150 if I concentrate and it's standard prose. I can't edit code as fast as VIM users and I know this is true, I keep wanting to learn VIM so I can, but I also just plain can't be arsed as it's not the bottleneck necessarily for me it just makes some editing actions more tedious not knowing VIM.

Great examples of this I see regularly watching coding streams are what look like "macros" that replay the last editing actions. Seems super powerful when replacing a word etc (and not all languages have proper support for variable renaming etc).
