Almost every editor/IDE around has a vi emulator. The problem is they never have all of vims features, and it doesn't take long until you discover <favorite feature x> is not there, and then the emulator is effectively worthless at that point.
- DigitalJack 14y agoTrue, but sublime's is pretty good. I'm a long time user of vim and though I've only used ST2's vim mode a little, it worked well. I just tested and it even does the ci" ci( stuff right. It isn't VIM ofcourse so it can't do everything, but it's enough to get by either to use for just a little while or as a transition to a new editor. My big complaint with ST2 is that the glibc we have at work is too old to run it. I tried to compile a newer glibc in a prefix, however the ABI changed between what we have and what ST2 needs, and the system ld-linux.so won't work with it. I haven't figured out a way to have linux use a ld-linux.so in a prefix yet. I don't think it's possible :(
