    how many people on here regularly use vim, and actually use its commands?

    Examples:
    - ":r !date" or ":r !echo hi" to insert a date (or other command) into the open file at the cursor
    - ":w !python" or ":w !bash" to run the current buffer through python/bash (or any other command)
    - ":%!jq" or ":%!sort" to take the entire file's contents and pipe it into an external command like jq or sort

    etc. I find it really useful at times but it seems like few people use it, let alone the commands!

    #vim
