Pretty much any time I need to make a quick edit or a couple search & replace operations on a file that's not part of my open IDE workspace

@milkybarkid Where does this "driver" thing come from... somehow it annoys me when people use it for things like headsets, keyboards, editors, etc. These things do not drive, they're not vehicles.

Puzomor57yEveryone at my company is using visual studio, so the projects are set up that way too. I'm using vim for every line of code that I touch, with some mappings to build the project within vim. Visual studio is there only when I need to debug something, so you could say I use vim professionally.

zshh38487yI use it for specific projects. I'm writing my own language now where I'm using vim, I've learned a lot. I also have a colleague who's a vim master who teaches me a lot. I really enjoy it.
But I still use IntelliJ more often. -
Vim is the best way I've found to read large C projects. Small ones benefit from the workflow too. I couldn't do my job anywhere near as well without vim.
how many using vim in every day use ?
