I share my feelings with Tony. I had my first contact with VIM (GVim) when I
was looking for an editor that doesn't depends on directional keys to move the
cursor, because I was moving from a PC to a notebook. I found Cream, and I
met VIM, and I fell in love. I love it because it was fully configurable and
had (well, still has) resources that I never wonder that a text editor could
have.

I use Vim/GVim about six years now, six days of week. I have dozens of
plugins. Some picked up in the vim.org others made by my self. And when I
think that I already have a perfect environment to work with, I end up
learning something new, and I can improve my configuration once again. And I
will be able to improve it every time. Because Vim is like that. You can make
it work with you, the way you like to do things.

If I am not boring you yet I will say a little more. Today I do almost
everything with VIM/GVim. I write e-mails with it (including this one),
proposals, contracts and documents with it. And I found Vimperator, a Firefox
plugin, that makes my navigation a Vim like experience.

IMHO Vim/GVim is the perfect concept of a "personal/do things in your own way"
editor.
