Maybe it's time for me to quit the VIM/Emacs addiction.

People are addicted? News to me.

I've been using VI/VIM for decades. If I am looking at a piece of code, I don't think too much about how to move around, or delete lines, or such. It mostly happens while I'm thinking of higher level issues.

Fixing indent issues is just a couple keystrokes, so that reduces my distraction too.

Practice, practice, practice with the tools you are going to use every day.

Why? Because Notch doesn't use it? What should that matter? Use what works for you.
