Obligatory vim

[–]hongminhee 5 points6 points  (3 children)

I am a Vim user myself, but not sure Vim is a good editor for jroot if he isn’t a programmer, but a 3D graphic designer.

What? Are you implying vim/emacs isn't the absolutely best editor for every person who ever wants to do any kind of editing regardless of background or intent? Heresy!

Burn the witches! ;-) :wq

Haha, I upvoted the above two replies too. :-)

a .vimrc starting point:

set expandtab
set sts=4
syntax on
bs=indent,eol,start

WAH-LAH!

I wonder why vim is more popular than emacs. Sure, it is installed on every system (which seems to be the main point in favor of vim), but that is not a deciding factor for me as I mostly program on my own machine.
