It has been quite sometime since I used vim or one of its flavours as my main editor for development. Is it time to go back to Vim? I am attracted by Vim’s productive usage of keyboard, but not so much about having to sacrifice VS Code or a few important shortcut keys in VSCode that Vim takes over.

I had to create a mobile app for one of the data driven applications that I recently developed. Cordova has proven to be an excellent choice to reuse my existing code and make life easier for everyone. Nature of the web app - Enable users to create and track specialised electronic devices Track customers who buy these specialised devices and deploy them at their site Track usage of deployed devices Track issues and manage resolution process Enable users to create charts out of device usage The app is hybrid of technologies but the web app was mainly developed using Javascript in the backend.

Most of my coding a few years back consisted of the following actions - Type slowly Type (a lot of) mistakes Use spaces and tabs to format. Get confused about loops and add ad-hoc spaces and tabs Curse my typing skills and the soul who invented spaces and tabs While formatting code was also becoming an interim ‘thought provoker’, it was simply too much typing.
