You always have to learn the processes in a new company, this is just part of that. And if they don't give you the explanations, training and time to learn, that's a good sign you wouldn't want to be at this company.
Maybe also speak to some of your new colleagues, whether they had similar trouble and see if you can improve the process for the next person.
We grasp the core point: vim is not typical. This is not insightful.
What we care more about is the link to the jobs portal of the company there will be an opening at soon that uses vim as it's standard dev tool chain.
I agree with your core point, but no software is intuitive.
I am 100% confident that your claim is factually wrong.
What makes stuff like the [X] button on the corner and Alt+F4 intuitive?
Multiple years of having used MS Windows and similar looking software as a student.
They got the marketing part right here, at least.
But if we are being inclusive, nothing really is intuitive.
I have seen BTech graduates struggle with installing software using the Wizard that is so omnipresent on Windows, so I don't expect anything to be intuitive at this point.
