From the linked page:
> Why use Vim Online Editor?
> 1. Because you love vim.
> 2. Because you don't have access to vim somehow (maybe you're on a Chromebook that doesn't allow access to the system)
> 3. Especially if you're on Windows and you still want to use vim.
> 4. Because you want a notepad of some sort in the browser, and you want to use vim bindings instead of normal notepad.
- codetrotter 4y agoPoint 3 I don’t quite understand though. Last time I was using Windows, several years ago, I was perfectly able to run gVim on it. I can only imagine that with the subsystem for Linux and other things that have been added since then, surely it has only become easier to run Vim. Last time I was actively using Windows was in the late WinXP / early Win7 era. But I don’t see why Win 10 / 11 would make running Vim difficult. I do agree with all of the other points though.
