Had the same thing when I was studying CompSci.

Ended up spending more time configuring vim than doing the work I was supposed to do.

Even did the completely pointless exercise of making custom syntax highlighting for the pseudocode language we had to use.

This prepared you for the 'real world' better than any programming lessons could!

Once configured vim works fine. I probably spend 1-2 hour/day in vim for my personal projects but haven’t configured anything in months.

I think I had most things working properly within the first few days, but kept customizing and changing settings/fonts/themes/plugins.

Mostly procrastinating by pretending I was "Being Productive"
