I'm happy to have finally gotten comfortable with enough of the movement/editing commands to use them every day for real work. However, I just use Vintage mode in Sublime Text 2 because I like having nice file browsing/tabs and other niceties of Sublime Text 2. Am I missing out on much by not using straight vim?


Yes.

I loved Sublime Text 1, and I really love Sublime Text 2. With the addition of Vintage, Sublime Text is slowly becoming the ultimate answer to the question of which editor to choose.

But Vintage mode is really buggy, and misses a lot of very important features that vim has. There is work being done on it, and it is getting better, but vintage mode does not come close yet to the power of vim. And there are a few bugs that make it hard to get used to some of vim's more powerful features.
