Can someone who is at least 'intermediate' in vim give me a reason as why a vim guy would switch?
I'm saying this as someone who feels the need to use a debugger maybe once every 3 or 4 months.
- sheff 15y agoRubymine has a fairly decent VIM mode ( http://plugins.intellij.net/plugin/?id=164 http://plugins.intellij.net/plugin/?id=164 ) but its a lot less snappy than MacVim. I only use it (Rubymine) now and again though, for things like browsing through projects I don't work on often, or to help find syntax errors in code and so on.
- codenerdz 15y agoCould it be that you use debugger so rarely because its so difficult and not user-friendly in command line mode? I run my application in debug mode all the time so that i can stop it at any time and look at different values and states at all possible levels of execution stack
- rsanheim 15y agoMaybe. I find that if the code I'm working with is decently written (i.e. paired on, done via decent TDD or BDD), then the need for a debugger rarely arises.
- tdenkinger 15y agoI'm a vim user. I'd use RM when pairing with someone not well versed in vim. Otherwise, I find it slow and difficult to work in.
