At my job I wrote a lengthy document on how to use vim, like the core concepts of the hot keys (each key has a meaning behind it, text objects and such). I feel like everyone was happy about it but no one used it at all. It’s painful as hell to see them fumble on vi and vim.

a pro vim user watching a vim noob using arrow keys.
/:wqa!and then reopening the editor instead of just using:wxrepeatedlyiand then the right arrow key until they’re at the end of a lineSTOP! You’re scaring the children!
The first time I ever touched Double Ds was in vim.
It’s all fun and games until someone does
ddOinstead of usingS;(Those last two made me physically recoil wtf
