I still think your contribution is null and irritating. First of all, it's too long and it doesn't say anything of essence. What's all this mumbling about your girlfriend and gamers?
Thanks for suggesting that I try and use vim in unix. I am 26 years old now. I have been using vim since I was 17 if I remember correctly, when, by the way, I was developing exploits for the x86 architecture as a hobby, and and now I am a post graduate student in Computer Science. I have never developed anything in windows, and I rarely even do anything in windows, if that says something to you about my familiarity with the unix console & the keyboard. I just happened to stumble upon Acme, and I gave it a try. After nearly a decade of using vim, I decided to ditch it for Acme (which i have been using for the past month), because I do think it's better for my purposes. If your read Rob Pike's paper on acme, you might find that there is some credibility behind the argument that mousing is sometimes smoother for programming, than exclusively relying on keyboard shortcuts. Now quit your frothing at the mouth because you discovered Linux and vim.
