Yes. But mostly IdeaVim in JetBrains IDEs though.

For those that haven’t yet learned vim: the real power is that the commands can be combined to form a mini-language. Commands can also be recorded in macros and replayed. This is what makes it so awesome. But to really make use of this you have to properly learn it, only knowing i and x isn’t enough.

Emacs is ok, provided it’s in evil mode

It’s not that any one is better than the other, it’s up to your use cases.

This is correct. For example, if the use case is editing a text file, then vim is better.

Thank you very much for looking it up! I learned something new thanks to you.

So I guess in the end it is deterministic, because for a given set of inputs it always produces the same output, it’s just that file paths and timestamps must also be considered as input.

I don’t think that’s true - or thst it is a bug. It would make reproducible builds impossible.

You can’t compare a statistical token generator to a deterministic algorithmic program.
