Why Vim for Writing?
"Writing is rewriting. If editing feels like friction, you'll rewrite less. Vim removes the friction and keeps you in flow."
Flow state requires unbroken focus. Every mouse reach, every menu click pulls you out. Vim commands become muscle memory so editing happens without thinking. Delete a paragraph, swap sentences, change every instance of a word. Your hands stay on the keys, your mind stays in the work.
