#DailyBloggingChallenge (32/50)
When comparing a standard text editor and #Vim in most simple day-to-day tasks, the standard text editor suffices. Though the main scenario where Vim shines is if one frequently needs to copy line-wise data.
It it so much faster to use the Vim command "+yy over selecting the whole line either HOME to SHIFT+END or END to SHIFT+HOME and then CTRL+C to get it to the clipboard.
For multi-line selection, both software complete the task similarly fast, unless one knows how many lines one will be selecting, then Vim wins again.
@barefootstache I use Neovim, but many IDEs, like VS Code, will copy the current line when you press the copy keybinding and there is no selection.
