(Graphical) IDE’s are great for development, but they’re slow to start and heavy to run. Sometimes you just want to take a quick look at an xml or dockerfile and you don’t want to spin up the whole IDE for that.

Most of the configuration I’ve done in vim is to remove whatever someone else did. Like I log in as root on a server and someone put set number in /root/.vimrc. Like having the line number in the bottom right wasn’t enough for you, you need to waste three columns to show numbers for every line on the screen, and now I can’t copy and paste from vim without having to delete three columns from every line? NO.
