AI coding tools are optimising the wrong thing and nobody wants to hear it. Writing code was already fast. The bottleneck is everything else: unclear requirements, review queues, terrified deploy cultures, and an org chart that needs six meetings to decide what colour the button should be.
Vim’s solution to fast editing also isn’t very compelling since multiple cursor editing was invented. You can get 90% of the editing speed by learning 1% of the shortcuts. And the UX is slightly nicer since you get immediate feedback.
That’s part why I don’t use VIM for software development, even though I love the motions.
It’s a perfect solution… for the wrong problem.
(Other reasons are:
-I paid for the entire RAM and I’m going to use the entire RAM )
