But my question more aimed more in the direction of text
perception: Does vim influences the way you recognizes text?
Or the other way round: Does you choose vim as your editor,
because you may recognize text in a different way as for
example Microsoft Word users do?
For me, I'd say the text-perception was there before I learned
vi/vim, that I'd view my documents and wonder why I couldn't
easily make use of document structure for moving/editing. Before
Vim, I used the old DOS "QEdit" which at least supported macros.
On *nix, I was stuck with pico (having tried Emacs and been
frustrated by it). Once I learned Vim, it was a vicious feedback
cycle of reinforcement -- it's now hard to use any other editor
without frustration.
Unlike Marc Weber's comment:
MW> Emacs is currently no option for me because I've heavily
MW> tweaked Vim to fit my needs
I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum, preferring an almost
virgin Vim config because I jump between machines (1 MacBook, 2
Linux laptops & a Linux router at home; Win32 and a Linux box at
work; and a web-hosting service running Linux) enough that I
don't want to try and keep configs in sync between them all.
Having the full functionality of vim the same on all of them
reduces my mental overhead.
