By TUI do you mean VI/M? Or something like helix or slap??
VI is usually on 99% of the time on any Linux system. That’s why I use VIM, to ensure I know what to do for editing and how to do it at a basic level. I mean personally I have a bunch of config settings and plugins, but I an do basic tasks with VI and feel comfortable. I believe that is important for a Linux admin.
Totally. If you don’t know the vi basics and you’re stuck in some state of disrepair or emergency, you’re going to have a much worse time getting things sorted :)
I much prefer gui editor with all the frills for complex coding. But the guy I’m working with right now, it’s vim all the way for him and honestly he’s about as fast as I am at most things.
Both Vim and Git really clicked with me when I had to revise and rewrite a paper. Sure, my graphic editor could do most things, but it really felt comfortable and quick on vim. I now use it for all my text editing, but that was my click moment.
I’ve tried TUI text editors before but they’ve never really clicked with me.

Like I know how to use it but it never really clicked for me, I’ve tried helix, neovim, vim and nano but it doesn’t click for me.
When it does click with you, them every other editor feels a little broken. It’s a double edged sword.
Yeah, seeing how people use arrow keys or their mouse to navigate around a text document made me realize how little I wanna go back.
