If it's anything like the "VI" editor in Linux, then I don't even want to
think about it. I've used the VI editor several times, and I HATE IT! VIM
sounds like the same sort of thing if it's got a "command mode".
Its the same program, just Improved :-)
People hate things they do not understand.
I've found a way to backup so that it wraps the lines correctly now, so I
can use my old editor, which I'm used to. I may look into GVIM, though,
just for grins-and-giggles.
Yeah, you'll probably be better sticking with your old program. Don't
even look at GVIM, its VIM with a Graphical Interface, and that is VI
Improved with a lot of features. So, you wouldn't like it.
What can I say?! Its a taste thing! But the fact that you had problems
with your editor may indicate you'll have more problems in the future.
VI is in every distro of Linux I've ever used so far, so, it was best
to learn it in order to admin my servers in a better way, porting it
for Windows saved me a lot of work (learning a new, win tool).
Besides, what simple, fast and reliable editor you know can:
1) Automatically backup files.
2) Auto-ident code.
3) Highlight code from at least 100 languages (including SQL, C, PHP,
Java, HTML).
4) Show you differences between files (oh, that helped me a lot with my.cnf)
5) Keep versions of old edited files
6) Remember the position where you left editing the file
7) Line numbering, jump to, copy paste visual or command, delete lines
by number, delete multiple and much more editing features.
8) Much more stuff I don't use/know
OK, I'll stop VIM stuff here, I just love it, but I'm pretty sure I
can't convince most people, but I like to try.
