Hi, first of all: My interest and/or question, which let me post here, is neither intended as the initial spark for a flame war nor as anything _against_ someone or something. May be it is a kind of "exploring the psychology of the vim human". And: English isn't my mothers tongue -- anything sounding harsh, badly or negatively results only from this -- it is by far NOT my intention!
The start of all this was the observation, that there are many editors out there, which are rated differently and often on a scale from totally bad to fantastic. Every kind of review result seems to exist. But with vim it seems (at least to me) a little different: Either you hate it or you love it and will not touch anything else your whole life long (I am exeggerating only a _little_ bit ;) ) The reason for this observation -- the polarization into mainly two groups of people -- seems not only based on the properties of vim alone. I think (read: "I dont know for sure...") that there is a certain kind of perception of text and/or handling of text by vim people, which matches perfextly the way of text usage and presentation by vim itsself. May be I am totally wrong here -- so please understand this as a big question mark ... I am just only driven by curiosity. Is there a certain perception of text and text handling by vim people which may be distintive different from people who definetly dont like vim? And again: May question does not indent to judge over "the better way of the perception of text" !!! Is there a kind of vim psychology??? ;) I am interested in answers as I am interested in questions... :) Best regards, mcc -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
