Why I use Vim
I had a lot of discussions with my colleagues recently because they can't believe I use Vim for almost everything. This post is about why I do so.
- vernie 13y agoI have trouble imagining a person who would care what text editor you use and would then be surprised to hear that you use Vim or Emacs.
- PascalPrecht 13y agoWell it's actually more about that their suprised i'm using a text editor instead of an IDE at all.
- drj42 13y agoActually... The image at the end reads "One does not simply... reimplement vim" FWIW evil-mode for emacs has done just that, and IMHO, in most cases, actually is a better vim that vim itself. Its not just a shallow subset of a few vim keyboard shortcuts, but pretty much a complete reimplementation of vim, in elisp. It rocks
- PascalPrecht 13y agoHey! Very interesting! I haven't used emacs yet, so I didn't know about that evil-mode. :) I'll check it out but I doubt that it's a complete reimplementation. However, glad you like emacs though :)
