I spent 10 hours learning enough vimscript to make a command to check if a line is commented, comment it if not, or uncomment if it is, be able to handle multiple filetype and comment chars, and be able to handle proper indentation and multi-line selection.
I have to imagine it would be simpler in other languages. Vimscript is hard.
I'm sure mine's strictly worse. It was written when I was working in an environment where it was easier to spend 10 hours on something than it was to get permission / access to download vim plugins from the internet.
government contractor, yeah. It is insane how much effort there is put into getting butts in chairs for the right number of hours and how little effort goes to actually building something useful.
