Vim is for coding. How does this work out on the iPad?
With a bluetooth keyboard and a charging dock or a stand, iPad is a great platform for Vim coding.
Does one edit remote files locally, and compile/run remotely? (the benefit is the editing feels instant - no keystroke latency.)
With Dropbox support this would be possible.
Or has Apple let up on the "no coding for you!" iPad/iPhone terms?
There is no such term. The term used to be that you cannot bundle a compiler with your app, but even that has been lifted recently with Lua interpreter embedded in many games.

- riobard 15y agoMy point is that with this and iSSH, iPad + a keyboard could be a serious alternative to a traditional laptop for many types of programming tasks.

- levesque 15y agoAny free alternatives to iSSH? I don't feel like paying 10$ just to try it out.
- philo23 15y agoThis isn't free, but it is a bit cheaper in my opinion it's miles better, http://www.panic.com/blog/2011/04/introducing-prompt-ssh-for-ios/ http://www.panic.com/blog/2011/04/introducing-prompt-ssh-for... If I remember correctly, iSSH hasn't been updated for quite some time now. Though I might be wrong.
