I'm really enjoying this course. I stay fairly busy, so I'm wading through it a little at a time. Previously, I worked through the book: "Practical Vim" by Drew Neil which I also like and appreciate. This instructor is extremely knowledgeable and reenforces what I learned in Practical Vim as well as provides even more! Vim is super fun to use and this course is fun to work through. I always enjoy stretching my Vim capabilities. What an amazing editor!

Really good course

All the things were taught well, and the practice exercises associated with them were great, too.

Just one request: If there had been a lecture on NeoVim setup, it would be the cherry on top, but still this course is fabulous

Kudos to Jason!!!!!!!!!
