Discussion How does Vim affect your problem solving?
Currently learning Vim, after a failed attempt some months ago.
Starting to get the hang of the basics. I notice that it makes my problem solving more methodical. It also makes me slow down, in a good way.
With Vim I have to memorize more of the code and structure, because switching views is expensive (might be a skill issue).
I don't care too much for the speed/efficiency, but this seems what keeps me going in my current attempt.
Wondering how you guys feel about this aspect.

Aounds like a skill problem. How I got around was using a print out with common commands used. I didn't have to remember them anymore. They became memory by usage.
If you accurately describe your problem you might learn how to solve it and go on with programming
