       RE: https://graz.social/@publicvoit/115944406944516221I use emacs *and* vim...and I also use a cargo bike *and* a regular bike...I love this analogy.I might also compare vim to a fixed-gear bike; riding a fixed-gear bike is a bit different than a regular bike, since you have to learn how to use the pedals for braking and so on. That seems analogous to vim being modal, where most editors aren't.(And yes, I do have a fixed gear bike. Like vim, it is small, fast, and weird to use if you're not used to it...)
