I don't know, I'm not the one who made the claim that X was faster than Y.

Are you saying that studying how efficient various text editors are for some groups of people is not possible?

Here's what I believe to be an example of some study on how text editors compare:

Not saying that this is a good study - I haven't even read it. Merely providing it as an example that at some point a study has been made in this area.

I'm not saying that you can't do it, you obviously can. It's just weird asking for studies for something that was clearly a personal annecdote. It's like asking someone: "Which knife is your favorite knife?" getting an answer and asking for a study that validates the answer.

Sorry, English is not my first language so I guess I misinterpreted it. What I was replying to was:

> Assuming you've given time to learn it, editing with vim takes less mental effort and is faster.

What gave away that it was a personal anecdote? I interpreted the "you" part as if he was speaking generally about other people and not only himself

In my main language, we would have written something like below if it was a personal anecdote (rough direct translation):

> I was able to edit faster using Vim after taking the time to learn it.
