vim works really really well once you get the hang of it. additionally vi style syntax is supported by a variety of applications including but not limited to bash... because of readline vi syntax support.
It's pretty goddamned amazing all things considered.
My biggest gripe is it crashes when you bg the process and forget to fg.
ah well.

Anyone point me to a good guide for a noob?
don't knock it 'til you actually learn how to use it!
i love vi(m).
I can't code in anything besides vim. a GUI editor other than gvim needs to implement vim-like keyboard shortcuts, or a way to use vim from inside the IDE or something. I suggested this to the company Panic as a feature for their Coda editor and they said it was "interesting" and something to consider for future releases. didn't sound too hopeful, but regardless it would be awesome.
gbd also supports readline vim syntax
more noob talking
is there a difference between vi and vim? or is there a difference in vi across platforms?

vimtutor it up
i think i will have to do that at my house :)
there are minor differences across platforms. I don't think anything you'll notice doing regular file editing though. I'm not sure though.
vim has a lot more features and is better for coding. can't code without syntax highlighting!

blasphemy! I've been using textmate more these days but i really miss hjkl navigation.

yeah, I've tried various editors and IDEs like TextMate and Coda. Coda was pretty sweet, but I couldn't do without vi keyboard shortcuts.
Sure you can code without syntax highlighting!
Yeah, but I prefer syntax highlighting while editing config files. Digging out parameters within heavily commented out config files is a pita without syntax highlighting. Vi(m) rulez. :)
coding without syntax highlighting is miserable!
pita?
PAIN IN THE ASSO-CIATE
gotcha
You know I love Vim. Pair it with Urxvt with a Purple tint with a Puffy Wallpaper like I do at work and it's freakin awesome...
It's all about the transparent E-terms... and E16.5
XTerm-inate ;)
Exterminate XTerm
Has anyone tried Cream? http://cream.sourceforge.net/
Vim should lose the folding feature. People should learn to write small functions.
Just use emacs?
Does the emacs OS come with a good text editor these days?
haha
ha. man i used to hate emacs. now i only use emacs and chrome 99% of the time im on the computer.
