> what everyone else was using for writing Nim?

I think most people use [VScode](https://code.visualstudio.com), which has [a 
great Nim 
extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kosz78.nim).

The [Editor Support](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/wiki/Editor-Support) GH 
wiki article has details, but it needs updating. Not as cool as Mozilla's 
[AreWeIdeYet.com](https://areweideyet.com)... 🧐

Vim is by no means a lean piece of software compared to [<https://kakoune.org> 
Kakoune](https://forum.nim-lang.org/postActivity.xml#https-kakoune-org-kakoune) 
and [Vis](https://github.com/martanne/vis).

Good skills take much practice...
