None. He's talking out of his hat!
I'm not talking out my hat at all. I notice no productivity improvements from using vim. Maybe some appear in different lines of work, but I'm not saying it just to annoy you.
I don't notice Gentoo users being all that much more productive than Ubuntu users, either. It's basically a hobby to endlessly tweak your environment, and so is vim, IMO.
However, in the general case, I don't think it is much of an advantage in and of itself, which is why I disagreed with the poster above matter-of-fact stating:
> Productivity is far greater with vim
as if that was an indisputable fact. It is not. That was the thrust of my argument.
And regardless of typing prowess, knowledge of sound, elegant design is the essence of good programming. How fast you can edit text is almost irrelevant in the long term. I know excellent programmers who basically type with two fingers, and shitty copy and paste hack programmers who do their damage at an amazing rate with vim. The two-finger typists make more than the vim wizards, and for good reason. Don't confuse the tools with the craft itself.
2.-Adding the package name to a file and typing BundleInstall
3.-Basic window management... (Have it mapped to Alt+hjkl)
I know how to do all of these very easily from first week of serious usage. I'm using vim for less than a year and wouldn't call myself a "vim power user".
I think it's a little bit adventurous to judge an editor that popular for that long time based on seemingly (seeing the use cases you said) limited personal experience.
