Re: [OT] "steep learning curve" ... but what is it actually?

I think the learning curve is said to be steep by comparison with an uphill path. So x would be how far you get and y would be the amount of expended effort. But does Vim really have a steep learning curve? IMHO what it has is a virtually unlimited set of capabilities — considering that it has a

Hi, Often it i said, vim would have a steep learning curve... If I think aboyt a "steep learning curve" as such in a more mathematical sense...I dont understand this argument for being a negative one. Suppose this "steep learning curve" would be a graph in the mathematical sense -- I would
