The author seems to be in a windows environment and would probably benefit from like etexteditor which is pretty good, the thing about windows is that it seems really hard to use vim in as I'm used to going to a directory or using autocomplete to chose files from like say vim ~/git/con\t and getting vim ~/git/configs/ and so on. Which seems to work much better in a nix environment. Personally I use emacs most of the time though vim does work well for quick edits.
