Personally I think Vim is the antithesis of something poetic, because of the
vast difficulty in doing simple things :p.
The topics that are regular on this list, and elsewhere... it is like it is an
attempt at doing everything the difficult way ;-).
I would never write anything non-software or non-configuration file or
non-technical.
Because I would not want to be bugged by endless keypress-mistakes and the only
reason I use Vim really is because of its speed.
Sometimes hating the day I (or it) was born when I accidentily delete a piece
of text and I cannot revert the change for some reason. I had this keyboard or
computer where I was that didn't do CTRL-R.
Yes, only Vim can perform such a feat.
Press two wrong buttons and lose your entire file.
It is for the risky and daunting.
Or the not so easily amused :p.
Anyway, good luck with your search. I'll be using vim just for Linux/Unix
editing though.
Regards,
Xen.

Wondering if there are any poets here who use vim in writing poetry, either
in the messy creative phase or the later refining, polishing, and editing
phase. If so, I’d be interested in knowing how you use vim, how you find vim
helpful, and whether there are any plugins that you have found especially
helpful.
And if any non-poets here know of poets who use vim who are not here, I’d
appreciate a reference.
Thanks,
