Re: PHP Editor

You obviously haven't used VIM (since no real VI exists, exept on Solaris and other hardcore unices) in a while. If you *really* think using a mouse is faster than typing in commands you've probably fallen off the deep end. I have macros for everything - want the GPL at the top of my code type in a simple command and presto! GPL is there, syntax highlighting is gorgeous, find/replace is the best, and best of all VIM is on EVERY platform. I could use notepad or some other GUI editor, but why get used to something you can only use on a certain percentage of machines. When I program or learn something I think about portability - which is the reason I learned UNIX. If I learn one program on a POSIX box I know it will be there on the next POSIX box I work on. So make fun of us VIM users - say we are 30 years behind - but at least I know my favorite editor will be on every box I use - after ALL it IS a POSIX standard :OP --Joe On Wed, Nov 01, 2000 at 01:30:33AM +0100, Sander Pilon 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 ================================================================================ = Joe Stump joestump98@yahoo.com http://www.miester.org = ================================================================================ "Real programmers don't comment their code.
