I’d like actual examples instead of “I work faster”, something like “I can move straight to the middle of the file with 7mv” or “I can keep 4 different text snippets in memory and paste each with a number+pt, like 2pt”, things that you actually use somewhat frequently instead of what you can do, but probably only did once.
- The motions exist everywhere. Almost every editor has at least a vim motions plugin.
- You can navigate in your file without having to move your hand (to the mouse or the arrow keys)
- Vim is aware of the text you are editing. You can delete/change text between/up to quotes, parenthesis, etc
- You can program Neovim to do whatever you want. This means you can optimize it exactly for your workflow
