Im considering spending some serious time learning one of the above. Two principle engineers I work with exclusively use them, and watching them work is incredible, the speed they move and get things done is pure wizadry. Can anyone learn this skill? For what it's worth, the alternative is learning VScode. I’ve exclusive used Android Studio in my career.

Vim is great because you can enable the bindings in nearly every editor.

And then painfully learn which subset of the bindings each editor supports :(

Haha. True. But some are really close.
