It looks familiar to me because I wrote a tutorial for it for Coherent and used it for many years before David Conroy wrote MicroEmacs. vim, not so much.

- sverige 8y agoWell, if you went down the emacs path in 1985 when MicroEmacs was released (near as I can tell anyway), that was six years before vim was released, so I think you meant to say "vi," not "vim." Some of us still use plain old vi and not vim, which is why I'm a little touchy about it, I guess. (I mean, what do you need with all those damn plugins, anyway? Might as well use emacs in that case.)
- dorfsmay 8y agoI moved from vi and vi clones to vim for its Unicode support, but then started learning all its more advanced operations and have been enjoying them since then.
- sedachv 8y agoThe Coherent documentation is tops: http://www.nesssoftware.com/home/mwc/manual.php http://www.nesssoftware.com/home/mwc/manual.php Really impressive what the people at MWC did with an 8088.
