cross post from reddit, OP: @pizzatorque@mastodon.social

Personally mine was just getting around buffers; creating new ones, splitting windows, deleting the ones I don’t need and so on. In the beginning I used to have just a single file open at a time like nano

I tend to use undo-fu more often for sure. Typically the simpler word processor style of managing things is all I need, and for code there's version control.

Honestly I'd say if you're happy with undo-fu there's no real reason to go back. Unless you're curious and want to explore, which I'd never discourage either!
