Re: Any non-programmer users of Vim here?

I have .vim and .vimrc check into my svn repo along with all my environment files (tcsh).   Then keeping in sync is just a svn up away.

I feel like to get the most out of it you need to a) put the time in to learn it and b) put the time in *configuring* to make it work for you. 

 While I certainly agree with (a), I'm at the other end of the  spectrum on (b).  One of the things I like most about vi/vim/gvim  is that I have it on all my *nix boxes by default (whether vim on  Linux and Mac, or nvi on OpenBSD if I haven't yet installed vim)  and have installed it on my Win32 boxes...it behaves (mostly) the  same everywhere out-of-the-box without any tweaks.  It might be a  rarity as lots of folks on the list have tricked-out configs, but  other people have told similar tales[1].  The cost of losing a  config or keeping it in sync across umpteen boxes is more hassle  than it's worth to me.  Just my $0.02 on it.  (and to answer your initial question, I use  Vim for all my text editing, whether code, HTML/CSS, or just  plain vanilla text-files like to-do lists and emails)  -tim   [1] http://oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/ask_tim/1999/unix_editor.html
