I've seen many who use emacs as their IDE..they don't use eclipse/intelli/visual code etc...I feel you need to acquire they skill early in your career... Now, learning basics to deal with text navigation/ search replace is enough...

regex is must for most tasks...

like compiler configurations...

for example once you change the code...if you want to immediately compile or build....etc

ee roju org meeting lo saw a dev use vim at blinding speed.. i don't know him well enough to ask him this question but anyone knows good way to learn and get fast and do amazing things in vim.. i used it in the past but it was too painful so i gave up

All or nothing thinking vodhu   we can be average too. 

start with vim extension in vs code.. basic navigation tho start chesi.. delete words delete lines .. change inner text lantivi try cheyochu..then basic macros..

 it takes time to get that muscle memory .. takes many months to years..

Practice man .. First start with basics on how to navigate , how to go to specific line/string , search and replace , quit with/without save etc .. tarvata you can learn advanced stuff
