Software development is flooded with IDE's and text editors, the general consensus being that VSCode is the most popular. What about Vim?
Hardcore Linux devs who like to get their hands dirty still prefer the timeless and venerable Vim. Personally, I think that anyone working with a Linux shell should first learn to use Vim. I use it for writing Perl, shell scripts or manipulating text without craving the bells and whistles that VSCode offers.
When I started out with Vi(m), there were just a few text-based tutorials, but now they come in a variety of formats, and certainly when I was starting out I would have found such a good flashy and interactive guide most helpful.
