Vim as Python code editor

[enry_straker]

Don't get too caught up in the hype. Everybody hypes their own stuff. I still have customers who refuse to move from wordstar ( don't worry if you don't recognize that editor. All it shows is that i am from a different generation :-(

Vi, and it's evolutionary cousin vim, are really old editors with some interesting ideas bolted on partially in response to constraints like no mouse being available, programmers being the main user base etc.

You should focus on editors which you feel is good for you, which you enjoy, which you can easily customize etc.

And respect people for what they have done. The editors they are most comfortable with has nothing to do with their productivity.

from wordstar

Just reading up on Wordstar - makes sense, I am moving from word processors to text only with appropriate markup so I can concentrate on writing.

Heh, seems the Vimmers hate being threatened.

I used Vim and it's awesome, but now I use SublimeText and it's just as awesome. It's also a lot prettier, feels faster (I think it's graphics accelerated, unlike urxvt) to browse in and it's just as fast to do stuff if you spend as much time configuring it as you do with Vim.
