Re: Is vim just for programmers?

I'm not a programmer, and I use vim. But I must admit that writing
« dense » text is sometime hard on vim, and I switch to pyroom (a
darkroom-like for linux).

The thing who helped me is the « linespace » option, which permit to
add space beetween lines and made a huge text more readable.
Other « problem », if you don't use LaTex, and don't want to break
lines, you can't have realy long lines in word-wrap mode. If the line
take mor than a screen hight, the text become not readable. You must
cut the line / paragraph.

Last, I realy miss a proportionnal font. Whatever one say, a clean
proportionnal font, with ligatures, is great for writing. If gvim
could use pango or wathever I'll be realy happy ! (I saw that it's
possible on emacs-gui, but I realy prefer the ergonomi in vim).
Nothing's never perfect !
