I'm not a big fan of Vim, but unless you can find any smart editor that have had half of the success of vim for half of its life time, I'd say maybe the way it threats text seems to be successful.
- nnq 9y agoEmacs and IDEs are also successful. No IDE in particular was long-time successful, but the general concept of "heavy program dedicated to structured editing of code" is successful. I still use Vim for config files though :P
- oblio 9y agoIt depends how you define "long time". Visual Studio was launched 20 years ago. Eclipse 15 years ago. Both of them seem to have at least as many years left in them.
- zeveb 9y agoEmacs is older than vim, almost exactly as old as vi (both emacs & vi started in 1976, IIRC), is quite smart and is capable of treating code as trees rather than strings.
