Re: OT: Vim Humans are...

I actually started out as a windows guy and I've been with linux only for a couple of years but for me, vim is about doing things with keyboard. No mouse, never. Some things could benefit from mouse but the keyboard, vim and all the commands at my user gives me a very powerful UI.

I actually took several months to learn vim in all its glory and it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Vim isn't good for everything. With Java I use an IDE because you simply can't remember everything, but when it comes to straight up coding, VIM's KING.

Heh, I still use ed on occasion with the same nostalgia. :)
