If it's not VIM it's shit

I've just discovered that VIM is pretty powerful, has numerous IDE-like features, and is extremely customizable. Fuck Emacs, Gedit, Notepad++, Eclipse, Visual Studio, Xcode, etc.

I've been writing software for over a decade and I have used everything listed above but I always thought of VI/VIM as merely a simple line editor. Why didn't anyone tell me about how awesome VIM truly is?

Yes.

Thanks.

Vim has more options then Windows. Except you have to know about them beforehand before you can actually change them. Why does vim still not have a settings menu after ~20 years?

>>40
There are free full conversion VIM plugins/add-ons for both Eclipse and Visual Studio 2010.

GUI menu for settings takes up too much effort to build. Easier just to use a text file.

Why didn't they just make an edit.com clone then? Yes, I know vim is probably older then edit.com, that's not the point.

>>43
Because gui-configurable options and turing-complete config files can not coexist without causing frustration.

wow, thanks, I'll check that out in the future.
