This is a very common mistake, really. Vim is different. Not embracing this difference will only result in frustration.
- Daegalus 14y agoWhat I meant by that actually, was everyone says to use it as an IDE, but it felt like I was trying too hard to make it work like an IDE, than accept ti for what it really is, just a text editor with some useful scripts.
- johncoltrane 14y agoNot everyone. A few blowhards with blogs. You were just following what seemed like an universal truth. There's nothing really wrong with that. Most of Vim users simply take it as it is and don't waste other people's time misleading them.
