There's a typo in the URL. The correct version should be: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/tour/ http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/tour/

  Touche. Though I said best editor, not best OS. I tried Emacs once, org-mode was a bliss until I realized I had no feeling on my left pinky and realized I was more productive when I used Vim. You have to admit though, those screencasts are a godsend for Vim newbies. They're excellently produced and lighthearted to boot.

I think you should edit the title to "some vim screencasts" That takes the sensationalism out, and would've kept me from clicking (no interest in vim)

  Yeah, the title is misleading and it's intention is to flame... Please change it to something meaningful.

    I too rolled my eyes until I saw that it was about vim.

Bummer, I thought it would be an emacs tutorial :-[

I hoped it would be an emacs tutorial. Vim is quite obviously the best editor ever, but I already know vim!

  I used to use vi/vim but one day I stumbled upon Common Lisp and started learning/using emacs because it seemed to be the best ide available for CL. Now I can't imagine living without org-mode, mew, jabber-el, w3m and many other emacs applications. Isn't emacs more popular among programmers and vi/vim among sysadmins/unix guys?
  - StavrosK 16y ago
    I'm not sure, I'm both but I never found a good tutorial on emacs...

got the first real contact to vim via these screencasts a few weeks ago (except for the standard i,:wq commands to get around). Amazing editor: powerful and available on any platform; my main problem before was that the later is not true for textmate; now: learn once, use anywhere!

For those of us who are largely in the Microsoft world who think VIM doesn't apply to us, I highly suggest using this[1] VIM plugin for Visual Studio. [1] http://www.viemu.com http://www.viemu.com
