Vim-keybindings Memes

So you've spent a whole year in Vim, huh? Welcome to the other side where your muscle memory is now completely and utterly destroyed for literally every other text editor on planet Earth. Your fingers now instinctively type :wq into Slack messages, you press esc in Google Docs like a maniac, and the mere thought of using arrow keys to navigate makes you physically recoil in disgust. You're Patrick now—blissfully unaware, completely zen, operating on a different plane of existence. SpongeBob (normie editor users) is frantically trying to get your attention but you've transcended. You don't click anymore. You don't drag anymore. You just hjkl your way through life with the calm confidence of someone who can delete an entire paragraph with dap while maintaining unbroken eye contact.

The virgin "please help me escape this text editor" vs. the chad "I've transcended the need for escape buttons." On one side, you've got the confused newbie frantically googling how to exit vim like they've been trapped in a digital escape room. On the other, there's the enlightened vim master who's achieved such unity with the editor that the concept of leaving it is philosophically absurd. Why would you exit perfection? The real flex isn't knowing :wq — it's never wanting to use it. These are the people who've remapped their entire OS to vim keybindings and use hjkl to navigate their browser. They don't exit vim. Vim exits them.
