Vim _and_ Emacs
I'm really interested in your use cases. Personally I would have started with emacs (because of emacs coworkers) but working on old solaris installs (with only Vi available) forced me the other way. Once Vi(m) was ingrained it was really hard to give emacs a try.
- hello_moto 15y agoHey, I might be a victim of Vim as well. We'll see. I'd like to be able to use both just in case... :D
- sriram_sun 15y agoAnother Vim user here. I learned about Vimperator from Hanselman's site. I just can't use another browser!
- Periodic 15y agoI forced myself to learn Vim for the same reason. I could rely on Vi being available on any system I logged into, which was quite a diverse set at the time with installations going back many years. I've thought that I should learn Emacs just to see what the fuss is about and so I can make an informed decision about the differences, but the fact is that I no longer have the pressure to put in all that time. Vim works for me, and I there is no compelling reason to invest all that time learning another editor as an experiment at this time.
- gchpaco 15y agoEven though I live in emacs, at a command line my fingers are so used to typing "vi somefile" that they do so before conscious thought occurs. Which is not to say I spend a lot of time setting up my vi.
