You can use a vim emulation mode in sublime so all your hard work wasn't for nothing but I believe some of the more advanced vim features don't work in sublime.

You can use a vim emulation mode in sublime so all your hard work wasn't for nothing but I believe some of the more advanced vim features don't work in sublime.
The advantage of sublime is that it works well out of the box and with package control it is very easy to install any package you may need.
If you decide to give it a try, try sublime 2 with package control (I believe the trial is still free for sublime 2).
- jinushaun 14y agoThe other advantage is having the same text editor on Windows, OS X and Linux. No more wishing you had TextMate in Windows, or Notepad++ in OS X.
- adiM 14y agoUmm.. vim works fine on all platforms.
- LukaD 14y agoHave you ever actually tried it on Windows? I use vim a lot on Linux but working with it on Windows is a nightmare.
- richo 14y agoGvim always used to work fine for me when I was developing a C# system, the awkward thing was the naming conventions being broken for everything so I had to go on a renaming binge.
- tomlu 14y agoWhat's wrong with gVim? I have to have platform-specific font settings, but apart from that it's always worked a treat for me.
- piqufoh 14y ago+1 for gVim working ok on Windows, it's the OS that's broken.
- jordow 14y agoIt's not just the advanced features. Even basic features are completely broken. Pressing undo several times can occasionally break out of undoing and start editing your document on your behalf - spewing a slew of "uuuuuu" into your document, which - guess what - ruins any hope you have of reverting back to the original document state.
