I had my devOps friend whom I consider to be a hardcore VIM poweruser, walk me through her workflow
VIM on linux can do some absolutely amazing things with just a keyboard and a single monitor. More so than any other application I've seen. You don't need the touchpad at all. Swapping from insert mode, normal, visual, select etc.
VIM has much stronger capabilities when it comes to editing code / text. It takes very few keystrokes to do common types of text manipulation. With my macbook I always misclick things fairly frequently because I'm not used to a touchpad.
Emacs I don't know any hardcore powerusers, but from what I've seen its similar except its more reactive to inputs
Even though I don't intend on using Emacs or Vim to that level, I still think its worth learning. There's many ideas from these toolsets to implement into your own workflow.
