His comments on Vim are rather annoying and surprising. He says he spent a week using pure vi (not vim) as a test in comparison to Visual Studio (or whatever IDE). Such a poorly informed comparison. I don't really care what he uses, but it's annoying that he chose the absolute worst way to do the experiment and concluded, unsurprisingly, that it isn't worth it. Yeah, I don't want to use vi either. That's why I use Neovim with Language Server Protocol (LSP) plugins that uses the same "intellisense" as VS Code does.
