RE: [PHP] PHP Editor

Let me tell you, my 30 year old operating system runs until 1) either the electricity turns off or 2) I decide to upgrade the kernel. I would be no where near as efficient if I had to squiggle my damn mouse around all day. Not to mention, restart my OS. There is nothing nearly as strong as regular expresions for text matching. I suppose it is probably pretty easy do do something even as simple as take all the white space out of the beggining of certain lines of a file. I less than 5 seconds, I can do this: :%s/^ *//g This is just an example. Tell me how you can even think of doing that in windows -- or even if I can, why I would want to. Anyway, my point is that there are some things that were just done right a long time ago. Wine (the drink) is that way. VI is that way. UNIX is that way. They are all getting improvements -- for the better. Windows seems to have taken a step in the opposite direction. I used to keep my DOS box running for months at a time doing computations. I just read a study the other day that says people have to reboot their windows systems 9 times a week. By insulting my editor, you insult my whole POSIX operating system. :) Many of great code was and is created in VI and Emacs. These are the editors of the scientific community. -jeremy brand --- "Sander Pilon" <sander@3dnews.net> > wrote: >> >> I think us VI people and _you_ emacs :) people should agree that >> getting people out of whatever the heck they are running on >> Windows and into EITHER vi or emacs is a step in the right direction. >> >> :) >> -jeremy brand > >If you think 30 years back in time is the right direction, sure. > >:) > >-- >PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) >To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net >For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net >To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net == _______________________________________________________________________ GnuPG Fingerprint: 9F5E 95E0 1CC2 E054 84EA 6099 8ACD 9DBA D2C0 5EA9 _ http://www.JeremyBrand.com/Jeremy/Brand/Jeremy_Brand.html for more __ _____________________________________________________________ Get Your Own Private, Free E-mail Now! your_name@smackdown.com http://www.smackdown.com <spacer>
