I guess my point was not really clear then. I wanted to point out that
vim's "command" mode is not optimal because when you use it, you'll use the substitute command 90% of the time. This might be more visible if you comparesamtoedorsed, which are not visual editors.Of course
vim's normal mode is better for the changes I listed, but I wanted to make a point aboutsam's commands being more powerful thanvim's commands.This is the whole point of this post: using
vimwithsam's command mode makes it a better editor !Thanks! I think we just have very different ways of using Vim, which is fine! I personally hardly ever use the substitute command beyond the occasional find and replace to change a variable name. Perhaps my main takeaway ought to be that I should look for more chances to use it--there's always more power to unlock :)
