The things I +found particularly cool is `cat`ing a file to a new buffer rather than using +the existing file so you can easily write your changes to a new file, and +getting to use vim's undo commands to easily revert when the inevitable typo or +wrong command argument shows up. + +#### ↬ [All Hail The Cloud][all_hail_the_cloud] + +Good lord this was a good read.
