> Is there a kind of vim psychology?
I've often wondered this, but I'd expect it not directly related to
whatever techniques or commands or use cases people use vim for,
because there's a wide diversity in the ways vim is used. This group
often reminds us of that.
No, it is the *helpfulness* of vim, helping without telling you how to
work. I'm not thinking primarily of vim's help system, but of course
its excellence is an example of this helpfulness. I *am* thinking of
how helpful this group is, I feel a deep resonance between what I
perceive as the spirit of vim and the attitudes of the people here.
(In contrast, using emacs, I feel like it's telling me how to think,
the right way to do stuff. I'd formed that opinion long before I read
about Gnu and Richard Stallman but wasn't surprised to find that emacs
was the flagship Gnu project and thus had a barrow to push, and the
forks in the emacs world.)
Regards, John
