Vim. It's Vi-iMproved. Once you know a vi clone, you will be able to hack fast, and on any unix machine. Very valuable.

"Paul Graham still uses it for his lisp and arc hacking, Tim O'Reilly is a confessed vi-er, SlickEdit and Crisp have vi emulation..."
- nostrademons 18y agoHow well does vim work on a Mac? I'm a regular (g)vim user on Linux, but am thinking of getting a Mac for my next computer. I'm a little wary of using standard *nix tools on platforms they're not native to, though, because I tried emacs + GHC on Windows in college and found that Windows did things differently enough that all the normal help resources online didn't really apply (emacs users tend to laugh at you when you say you're using Windows anyway ;-)). Is the Mac/vim combination better in that respect? Things reasonably similar to how you'd use gvim on Linux?
- Oompa 18y agoI know that regular vim is available for OS X, and I also know that a special "MacVim" also exists. MacVim is more integrated with OS X as a whole, and has a gui like gvim.
