I love Vim!

I started using Vim because of Vim Adventures, which teaches you how to use Vim while you play a game. It's super cute and fun and made Vim less intimidating.
Right now I'm trying to learn just one or two tricks at a time and accepting that I'm not doing everything in the most efficient way possible. But every day I learn something new, whether it's a new shortcut or a cool plugin. Today I learned a nifty trick in the NERDtree plugin, that by hitting "i" instead of "enter", the new file will pop up in a pane. I also learned how to switch between panes with CRTL+W+direction. So cool!
