I get what you are saying, and I agree. I am a believer in wu wei, and a long time vim user.

I agree the tough love to tone is a bit much, and harms the author's message.

The real message is that learning vim is like learning stenography after learning how to type. Many people don't want or need to do it, but people that know both can do things that others can't.

My guess is that the author may be presenting that tough love attitude because they had to tell themselves that to get over the comfortable rut for themselves.

I love vim, but what do I care what you use?



That makes sense.

I just prefer learning about things when bored, instead of begin forced to. I find idleness very comfortable for exploring new stuff on my own pace.
