Hmmm,
shot that email off just a tad too early ...
Still disagree with using stealth to make people use a
different program but ...
OK, when I went to University (1984...) vi was great on
the Vax where we ran Unix (we only had "ed" on the PDP11's)
So I have a bit of a sway towards using vi
But I've been using vim for the last few hours and finally
found something worth switching to!
Vim has computer language recognition built in (with colours :-)
I'm impressed. I've always known how you could make vi do
tripple back summersaults with a pike, but someone has put
it in the default setup is good.
And no I'm not trying to start a new thread on how great
vim is (or that emacs is better coz it can do a million
things more - no sarcasm - simple fact) or anything like
that, but if you like vi - try vim
