vim > vi > emacs

but i'm only saying that because i love vim so that love brushes off onto vi because it is POSIX and present on all systems i use, emacs is superior but it also packs a lot of shit that would never make it a posix compliant editor

viper mode for emacs, anyone?

Enjoy your freedom to edit huge files with cumbersome freewares while the rest of the world gets actual shit done.

Enjoy your dicking about with a toy one-button mouse waiting for your editor because the idiots in India don't think it's a bad idea to put 80MB of code in one file while the rest of the world gets actual shit done.

My two quad-cores do not make me wait at all. Enjoy your Dell.

newsflash, dell has multicore and multicpu systems too

if you really want to get hardcore, dell precision has a rack mounted workstation, a fucking monster like most of the precision systems

and yes, i work dell enterprise support, i am biased as hell

If you're still talking about textmate, it would choke on it no matter the computer specs. I tried to open a big sql dump with it recently, to see how slow it would be (quite).
Some modern editors are not meant for large files. That's not a reason not to use them for normal work, it's always possible to switch to a specialized editor meant for huge files when necessary.

Anyway, when editing huge text data files the first choice pretty much always involves awk and sed. Those are really worth learning, unlike 70'S FREEWARES that are a royal pain to fit in a modern workflow and to use with a one-button mouse.

and ex is worth learning, too, since it's an enhanced version of ed. and once you've learned ex, learning vi is trivial.

also, your "modern" workflow is stuck in the 90s. ditch the mouse. just using the keyboard is a lot more efficient.

Agreed 100%.

Switching between the mouse and keyboard consumes quite a bit of time, not to mention it gets tiring after a while. I've found that even reaching for the arrow keys is tiresome compared to hjkl.

I've developed this sort of habit where I instinctively type ^[:wi every 10 minutes or so.

I have a little trouble using Photoshop with only the keyboard.

learning vi is trivial.
Memorizing a large amount of trivia is never trivial. It's just like the Dvorak layout: nerdy NEETs love them only because they require a long initial commitment, so they can show off their skills at using something that looks alien and unusable to their less nerdy friends. Just kidding, they have none.

Well duh. Graphics are supposed to be edited graphically, and text, textually.

Though a command line in Photoshop would be awesome. Instead of fidgeting with the mouse while watching the coordinates to get it exactly right, just type "300 400 cursorto".

If you're spending most of your time in insert mode you're using vi wrong.

Somehow, I doubt that.

You mean to say that vi is useless for actually writing things? I agree.

Not really. It has always been intended to be used with one hand on the keyboard and one on the stylus or mouse. That's why they make as many commands as possible use only one keystroke.
