Best Text Editor / Re: Is this serious?
« Last post by iveqy on February 21, 2007, 02:14 AM »Please note the review does not say Vi cannot do any of the things listed; it only says they're too hard to figure out.
According to Wikipedia, "Vi" stands for "visual". I rest my case-tranglos (February 20, 2007, 08:30 PM)
I do know, why vim has it's set of mappings, and that do not change what I said. You still edit faster if you do not need to move your hands.
Well, vi is visual because you can se the whole textfile, not only a row like in ed.
The text editor review is getting a little old, i'll update it with your comments though. i have to admit im not much of a vi[m] fan. i know it's powerful but the interface is just too much for me. at least with emacs i feel like im still on a planet inhabited by humans. with vi i feel like i've been transported to an alien universe made for creatures who use telepathy instead of fingers.thank you. Vim is not for everybody (vim sucks before you can handle it. If you try vim for at least three months you probably like it ). Still the interface is a matter of taste. Just because vims interface is different that the standard windows interneface, doesn't mean that it is bad.-mouser (February 20, 2007, 11:45 PM)
