VIM editor

 i saw the news this week that the lead developer for VIM passed away.


I use VIM from time to time. i dont use it everyday, but i use it maybe 2 or 3 times a month(sometimes a bit more).

there are some places that VIM is the best solution. i will give you one example: if you telnet into your local router to change and play with the firmware, VIM or a fork of VIM, is usally there to use.

  It is light weight and fast. not many bells and whistles. but who needs fancy stuff when your editing files????


stay happy use VIM and enjoy a true piece of history and a living program that is still being developed.
