Vim is the supreme editor

We haven't had one of these flamefest in a while -- are there still users of other inferior editors around here?

>>80
I used Vim for many years before switching to Emacs.

>>76
Actually, OS X is superior to your shitty OS, whatever it is.

>>77
Overrated is the shittiest retort in the world. Facts or GTFO.

>>82
- It doesn't seem to have a single feature that Emacs (I can't speak for Vim, because I haven't followed its development since switching to Emacs) doesn't. *
- It is tied to one OS. I'm also an OS X user _right now_, but I use other operating systems fairly often, and I definitely need to have my configuration available in those.
- It is proprietary, which means that the day they decide to cut support for it you're fucked.

* I know it is initially more user-friendly, but let's see if you're still using Textmate in 10 years (or have you needed to learn yet another editor), and also let's see if I'm still using Emacs (with all the customizations I've accumulated during that time).

You're all a bunch of faggots. Any man knows that TECO is the only real editor.

It doesn't seem to have a single feature that Emacs doesn't.

By 'it', do you mean Mac OS X?

Hi, this is >>58
Thank you for this wonderful command.  Vim pwnz all.

>>83
Mac changes architectures like a bleeding bitch changes tampons.  Fuck Macs.

Mac changes $5000 please.

edit.com is superior

>>89
You'll have to license Fapmate as well :)

€2000 (for an unlimited license) please!

$7000 please lol Macfags lol lol

whats about http://codeblocks.org/

>>93
fucking sucks.

When I log into my Xenix system with my 110 baud teletype, both vi
*and* Emacs are just too damn slow.  They print useless messages like,
'C-h for help' and '"foo" File is read only'.  So I use the editor
that doesn't waste my VALUABLE time.

Ed, man!  !man ed

ED(1)               UNIX Programmer's Manual                ED(1)

NAME
     ed - text editor

SYNOPSIS
     ed [ - ] [ -x ] [ name ]
DESCRIPTION
     Ed is the standard text editor.
---

Computer Scientists love ed, not just because it comes first
alphabetically, but because it's the standard.  Everyone else loves ed
because it's ED!

"Ed is the standard text editor."

And ed doesn't waste space on my Timex Sinclair.  Just look:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root          24 Oct 29  1929 /bin/ed
-rwxr-xr-t  4 root     1310720 Jan  1  1970 /usr/ucb/vi
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  5.89824e37 Oct 22  1990 /usr/bin/emacs

Of course, on the system *I* administrate, vi is symlinked to ed.
Emacs has been replaced by a shell script which 1) Generates a syslog
message at level LOG_EMERG; 2) reduces the user's disk quota by 100K;
and 3) RUNS ED!!!!!!

"Ed is the standard text editor."

Let's look at a typical novice's session with the mighty ed:

golem> ed

?
help
?
?
?
quit
?
exit
?
bye
?
hello?
?
eat flaming death
?
^C
?
^C
?
^D
?

Note the consistent user interface and error reportage.  Ed is
generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm
the novice with verbosity.

"Ed is the standard text editor."

Ed, the greatest WYGIWYG editor of all.

ED IS THE TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA!  ED HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF EDUCATED
AND IGNORANT ALIKE FOR CENTURIES!  ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS
BODILY FLUIDS!!  ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR!  ED MAKES THE SUN
SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!!

When I use an editor, I don't want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless
help screens and cursor positioning code!  I just want an EDitor!!
Not a "viitor".  Not a "emacsitor".  Those aren't even WORDS!!!! ED!
ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!!

TEXT EDITOR.

When IBM, in its ever-present omnipotence, needed to base their
"edlin" on a UNIX standard, did they mimic vi?  No.  Emacs?  Surely
you jest.  They chose the most karmic editor of all.  The standard.

Ed is for those who can *remember* what they are working on.  If you
are an idiot, you should use Emacs.  If you are an Emacs, you should
not be vi.  If you use ED, you are on THE PATH TO REDEMPTION.  THE
SO-CALLED "VISUAL" EDITORS HAVE BEEN PLACED HERE BY ED TO TEMPT THE
FAITHLESS.  DO NOT GIVE IN!!!  THE MIGHTY ED HAS SPOKEN!!!

>>95
Indeed, ed is my choice of editor if Vim is unavailable or broken (such as lacking my custom configuration files).

>>95
source code of ed in Python


while True:
    x = raw_input()
    print '?\n'

edit.com is superior

>>97
One word.  Indentation.

>>99
?

>>100
Failget.
Forced indentation, thread over, etc.

(,,ﾟДﾟ) mommy, the language is forcing me to use whitespace to separate code blocks!!1 wahh  whahh whahhh

>>102
One word, the forced indentation of code. Thread over

LISP
