How dare you use a text editor because it's easy to use

In my case it's not a sense of pride. I can't use anything other than Vim because I keep accidentally putting random incantations into my word documents.

"There once was a dduuuZQ:q!"

haha, same. do you use vimium as well?

That extension is actually pretty cool. There is also tridactyl and a browser that was made with vim in mind, but a browser and a text editor are too different for many things to translate.

Ya know, I might throw that on to my browser but I doubt I'd actually use it much. I only really use my browser for research; notes, music, and most of my work is done in the terminal. Being able to swap tabs faster by not having to cycle could be useful, but other than that I find the mouse to be a pretty rapid way of navigating unfamiliar pages

in my case, my hand hurts if I use mouse(or a mobile phone) for some time. using j/k for scrolling and clicking links via f help me a lot.
