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?

Vim is a horrible piece of shit.

Most recent proof: you can't use :buffer command to reliably select a buffer corresponding to a file with curly braces in the name. Because the buffer selection command uses the regex engine in some fairly weird mode(s), which results in it either treating curly braces as special characters or ignoring them completely. Or something, it does fuzzy things. The bottom line is that if you have "{}.h" and "{}.c" opened, you can't select either one by name. Why? Fuck you, that's why.

>>6 You tried to be funny, but s/>/</ and you got it almost right, except that ed should go first (that is, last).
