Why wouldn't the same program work the same way on ubuntu, on your VPNs (I'm assuming you mean the machines you connect over a VPN to) and your mac?

- johncoltrane 15y agoSorry, I mistyped VPS. There are many reasons a program wouldn't work across systems. The primary would be that it is a Mac OS X or Windows-only app (TextMate) or that it needs a GUI, or that it makes too many assumptions about the platform it is running on. Vim works on many (if not all) systems, it can be run with or without a GUI without losing or breaking anything, etc. Obviously, Emacs has all the same pros but I liked Vim more. So Vim for me.
