It seems that Vim had a longer learning curve than other editors (the only exception is emacs, which has takes more than a life time to learn...).
So, when you've got used to it, you'll no longer found it strange, and it will be powerful for you. > * At the beginning of an indented line, why does normal mode put the cursor > at the end of the first tab whereas insert mode is position at the beginning > of the line like I think it should?

Sure, this is the default behavior.

I can use the vim buit-in file explorer and open files inside vim, which have no interaction with the menu at all. Remember: most vim features are invoked by command, not the menu. > > * I want to check a string if it begins with something but I have no clue > why.

What do you meant by "string"?, if you think a string should begin with quotation mark, then begin your search regexp with the quotation mark. -- Sincerely, Pan, Shi Zhu. ext: 2606
