Re: Any poets here?

Personally I think Vim is the antithesis of something poetic, because of the
vast difficulty in doing simple things :p.

The topics that are regular on this list, and elsewhere... it is like it is an
attempt at doing everything the difficult way ;-).

I would never write anything non-software or non-configuration file or
non-technical.

Because I would not want to be bugged by endless keypress-mistakes and the only
reason I use Vim really is because of its speed.

Sometimes hating the day I (or it) was born when I accidentily delete a piece
of text and I cannot revert the change for some reason. I had this keyboard or
computer where I was that didn't do CTRL-R.

Yes, only Vim can perform such a feat.

Press two wrong buttons and lose your entire file.

It is for the risky and daunting.

Or the not so easily amused :p.

Anyway, good luck with your search. I'll be using vim just for Linux/Unix
editing though.

Regards,

Xen.
