I very much appreciate working with vim, but find trying to use it on a Mac pretty frustrating – even after years of fairly regular practice! having to learn extra shortcuts for keystrokes as basic as [ or { makes me wonder if Macs are intended for writing anything more challenging than an e-mail :-}

Plus point, though: opening a file from the Finder points vim to the directory the file lives in, which is a lot better than Ubuntu's feeble default of opening everything in usr

Good luck, anyway …
