Its so rough watching non vimmers use vim
a pro vim user watching a vim noob using arrow keys.

:wqa!
and then reopening the editor instead of just using:w
x
repeatedlyi
and then the right arrow key until they're at the end of a lineSTOP! You're scaring the children!

ddO
instead of usingS

I've heard some people even use
:wq
over:x

At my job I wrote a lengthy document on how to use vim, like the core concepts of the hot keys (each key has a meaning behind it, text objects and such). I feel like everyone was happy about it but no one used it at all. It's painful as hell to see them fumble on vi and vim.

I'd love to but it's in French, don't know if that's a deal breaker or not ahah
