Programming in a text editor designed by a programmer for programming? Sounds...logical?

  Using an editor designed by programmers means you're most likely not getting a well-designed interface. Developers are notorious for not knowing much (if anything) about good UI design.

    Well, yeah, this pretty much describes vim. No cues are told how to save, exit, search, or insert. But, it's functional, and once you learn the functions, it's quicker than using a mouse and many other tools.

      I think vim has the best designed interface. This is reason why so many other editors always have a vim mode. Remember, imitation is the best form of flattery.
