it's incredible that you're actually writing mails that are 500+
lines, and when someone takes time to answer you to half of what you
said, you're considering it's too long and not worth reading. That's
some kind of hypocrisis. However your local Internet sucks.

Though you made me laugh with your first remark, when you tell me
how idiotic is what I wrote. Indeed, that's so stupid to actually learn
something and improve yourself.

My life journey is not about learning to use Vim, but about learning
everyday new stuff. It happens that I'm always learning more about Vim
along the way, as much as I'm discovering new tools, new ideas, new
languages and many other new stuff that makes me progress everyday as a
thinking human being.

You said you're a programmer, and I hope I'll never get to work with
you, as given what you say you're too intellectually lazy to actually
try to learn something new or make any progress. And I'm not talking
about Vim, but Vim is one example amongs many other hints you gave. I
guess you're not even interested in learning other languages than what
you already know? Because what's the point? It's not like you could
become a better programmer than what you already are!

When I happened to be teaching at people learning programmation, my
first advice was to try a few editors or IDEs out to make their mind
about it, and discover, learn as much as they can of that editor.
Because the more you know your editor, and your dev environment, the
more efficient you'll be at the other tasks you'll do.

But I guess there's no point talking with you, as you won't move
from your trollesque point of saying the tool is bad when you're
actually too lazy to understand how and why it's been designed that way
with a learning curve. If that tool was indeed that bad, do you think it
would still have such a wealthy community after 24 years, and 39 years
for Vi?

Sure the manual is heavy and also needs to be learned, but isn't it
positive that almost every single feature of vim is documented? No
manual can be perfect, and it's always hard to find the good questions,
but whatever you want the answer is in there!

Anyway, I don't know why I'm again writing lengthy stuff you won't
read, as it looks like you're only there to stay on your point saying
that a tool you admit not knowing well, and that you're too lazy to
learn is necessarily not designed correctly because it's not working the
way you're expecting it to.

By the way, that's the definition of a troll.

And you broke my trollometer!
