Cream is a good VIM editor on Windows.
- jamesbritt 17y agoI tried cream for a bit, and decided that I would be much better off juts learning to use vim qua vi, rather than trying to make it more like the typical win32 editor.
- Dobbs 17y agoI never seemed to understand cream. The idea is to take vim and basically castrate it by getting rid of the standard keybindings and ways of doing things to make it 'easier' for non-vim users. It even appears they got rid of modal-editing. The issue with this then they don't learn how to do things the vim way which defeats the purpose of using vim, just go use notepad++ or any other gui editor you get the same experience.
- bmj 17y agoAgreed. You can go into "expert" mode and use it with the normal vim bindings, though. Used in this manner, it does provide a bit of a better introduction to vim, as you learn the various modes and keybindings, but still get a reasonable UI for configuration and whatnot.
