“You don’t get it. Vim is like a language! You’ll speak Vim when you write! When you go to the market! You’ll speak Vim with your cat! When you think, it will be the Word of Vim™ in your head! You’ll see! It will change your life!” This is the kind of argument any Vim hippy would sing to the poor heretics, trying to convert them to The Eternal Editor. A hippy like me, who’s now writing an article about one of the main component of this “language”, the text-object.
