For me personally, number of reasons, but probably the main ones: --it is so small --it's fast --it's totally customizable (you can pretty much set it up exactly as you need/want it) --it works on pretty much every OS --once you get used to it is it incredibly fast to use...it's so much quicker than if you have to use the mouse...it frees your mind to concentrate on the code, not the editor --it's free!!
There are many many other reasons, these are just a few of my own ones. Hope that helps...I would say give it a try....personally, I don't think you'll go back to another editor once you get proficient on vim On 09/24/2012 10:19 AM, vicky b wrote: > Thanks for the replies guys but in the present world where we leave > with so much of ide and code completion and so many features what is > that makes you guys stick to vim .. does it make your job simpler or > features are great or your use to it. > > On Mon, Sep 24, 2012 at 10:47 PM, Tim Chase <v...@tim.thechases.com > <mailto:v...@tim.thechases.com>> wrote: > > On 09/24/12 11:54, vicky b wrote: > > I am an enthusiastic vim fan but never used it much .I use > sqldeveloper > > for db related tasks.Due you guys really feel comfortable in vim > to write > > pl/sql and also can you guys also query the db and see the resutlset > > through vim. > > While I don't use it regularly for Oracle/pl/sql, I do use it for > T-SQL on SQL-Server for my day job.
