Last year I made myself a bit acquainted with Vim. I'm by no means an expert and am not (yet :-)) advocating to replace your favourite IDE with Vim. I use it for small things:
- it's much easier/faster to to edit files on a server using Vim as opposed to opening and editing the files in a tool like Transmit. There's a big chance that vim is already installed on your server.
- editing your hostfile is breeze with vim.
- if you need a small change, like deleting a line, in a file and you're IDE isn't open, Vim can help you.
- there's a big change that you already use Vim when Git promts you to specify a commit message
Unlike most pieces of software, Vim has absolutely no respect for the beginner.
Even quitting it proves quite difficult. There's really nobody that can use Vim without some training. But with same quick pointers everybody can do the tasks mentioned above.
Watch this video clearly explains the basic commands.

Expect quick tips & tricks, interesting tutorials, opinions and packages. Because I work with Laravel every day there is an emphasis on that framework.
