- Evbn 14y agoHow many Linux boxes do you spend >10hrs coding on in a year?
- zalew 14y agoit is on mine and it's all that counts. unless what you mean is that it doesn't work without an X session on remote hosts, but in general I don't work on live code. 'The real power of vim is its proven staying power' is a non-argument, today I work on stuff that didn't even exist 10 years ago, there is no guarantee vim will be even usable for the sort of work you will be doing in a decade, and for sure there is no guarantee it will be the best choice. both vim and eclipse are here to stay for the next years and both have a lot of support. there are lots of reasons to learn/use vim, but a 10 years longer historical consistency isn't one.
