Yes, Vim is the best thing (not realy.. maybe the best text editor thing) that ever happened to me. It's so much faster.
I first saw it and tried to use it, it was very frustrating, but I saw it's usefullness. So I downloaded some typing tutorials and relearned proper finger placement. Now it's a blast.
I almost hate using MS Word-like word proccessors because everytime I want to do something I have to reach All The Way Over There to that stupid mouse.
Hmm.. I think now I am going to have to print out a command list of Vim so I can learn all the cool stuff like repeating command lists... What I do most right now for copying and pasting is realy cutting and pasting... I hit "5 dd" to delete 5 lines in my xf86config file, then jjjj to go down and then p to paste from the history buffer. What thing I like is when I am working with configuration files or writing simple programs... When I try to use the file and I made a mistake it will give me a error like "error wakkawakka on line 354",
then I "vi filename" then I hit: "353 j" to zip to that line. cool stuff.
I know that everyone is not hip to the whole cli thang. But here is how I look at it.
The original nitendo had, what like, 4 buttons and the control pad? I loved the intellevision pad with the 12 number button, the analog disk, and the painfull 4 little side buttons. The sega was a nice pad, all round. But the sony is the best with the maximum of 16 buttons and gizmos or so. But my computer is unparralleled with it's 127 buttons of control.
