Question: Do you really think vim is as great as people make it out to be? Aren't modern windows IDEs just as good?
Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on January 20 2011, 12:14pm
Reply on January 21 2011, 10:04am:

It depends on what you want to do. There's a lot in there, but you can say the same about emacs, I suppose. Suppose you want to convert a file from CRLF to LF, or vice versa? How would you do it in a modern IDE? Not having to move your hands off of the keyboard to the arrow keys etc is a huge win for vi, too, IMO. The concept of "as good" is flawed. It's about what works for you. Comment...

Reply on January 19 2011, 7:24pm:

I don't have much experience with Java programming, so it's hard for me to say. I haven't seen too much music software written in Java, though, so that might be indicative of something. Comment...

Generally, yeah. Things in general, not just real estate, are more responsibility. Also, the idea of having things is better than having them. Comment...
