vi(m) or emacs which is better?

Name: Anonymous 2007-11-27 1:22

I have to say after getting to know both i found vi alot more efficent, emacs on the other hand was alot easier to learn for the first 5 minutes or so but all the shortcuts are bullshit

Emacs is a great operating system, but its editor sucks.

I like vim b/c its easier to embed into whatever ide you want, be it Visual Studio, NetBeans, Eclipse, Emacs,etc. You keep the editing efficiency of vim but keep all the extra goodies of ides, like code completion, easy project management, etc.

I like Emacs b/c its easier to embed whatever program you want into it, be it a shell, Scheme, Lisp, Haskell, Vi, etc. You keep the editing efficiency of Emacs but get all the extra goodies of ides, like code completion, easy project management, etc.

Scheme, Lisp, and Haskell aren't programs.

Emacs.  All vi/vim fanatics whom I saw working weren't even half as effective as me.  Modal beeping editor is masochistic.

Yes, but mzscheme, sbcl and ghci are.

Emacs is shit, honestly.

Then maybe >>8 should said that instead of what he did say.

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!!!

Microsoft Word is the best.

It's true. I do all my web design and enterprise programming in MS Word. It's awesome at generating HTML.

Joking aside, it actually is. I made $600 this week from selling Microsoft Word-generated HTML.

Agreed. It amazes me how many people think that vi and emacs are the best editors out there. I guess it gives them some 'hacker cool' or something.

Textmate is for ENTERPRISE faggots. I just opened it to look at the default syntax highlighting languages, let me post some of them:
Blog - HTML
Blog - Markdown
Blog - Text
Blog - Textile
HTML
HTML (Rails)
Java
Java Properties
Ruby
Ruby on Rails
SQL (Rails)

What the fuck is this shit?

It also fails hard at representing some UTF-8 characters. Shit sucks.

You know you can remove those right? I did, and installed the Haskell and Scheme bundles instead.

If it doesn't have a BBCODE syntax highlighter, I'm not interested.

That's correct, vim is a LINE editor.  Text editors are filled with digital AIDS, I cannot see why people would use them when there's ed and vi.
