Nothing says "I've replaced VIM" like needing an X-11 server to edit a text file.

- eyko 14y agoThere's also an ncurses backend, and the OSX app does not really need X11, does it?
- allerratio 14y agoHow often do you sit in front of a computer without X11 or another graphical interface? Many people don't edit any remote files. And when you do, you don't need to run the editor on the machine where the file lies. What's missing is a nice integration of ssh into the editors.
- account_taken 14y agoI know several people that use terminal only, including myself, who use thin client devices like tablets ssh'd into a VPS.
