Flash drives or shared workspaces?

for C and C++ i use code::blocks, i have MSVC++ installed for testing with a different compiler though. for everything else i use notepad++, however recently i have started using Vim in place of notepad++. but i haven't found all the merits of Vim just yet, the main reason that i like Vim over notepad++ is that i can run programs via the commands line without having to run a batch file. i tried using Emacs for Lisp a while back and found my self bashing my head in the wall within 10 minutes.

As for being readily available, if you are using *nix and go to terminal and type vi. odds are you have it readily available.

vi != vim

There is always one in the group.

vim = vi improved and with a .vimrc - you know what nevermind. Not even going to waste my time on you.

I currently use vim when i can. going to take a look at emacs for comparison. vim and emacs make no sense if you're not working in nixland. If you are working in nixland then they are heaven sent. so if you don't dwell in nixland, move along.

I think his point was that just because vim is vi just improved... having vi doesn't necessarily mean you have vim. It means you have vi, pre-improvement (unless you've otherwise 'improved' it, which means you have vim).



note: I say improved because vim is shorth for 'Vi improved'.

The alias vi=vim seems pretty standard on linux distros that I've seen...

for java, my "IDE" is vi (which points to vim) plus a good ant file.
I haven't really had to customize my vimrc beyond setting margins and word wrap because vanilla vim works fine for me. I use a shell script to configure a new project and prepare a build file for it, then I write code. Old fashioned, I know, but it works.

holy shit you guys just fucking google it already http://en.wikipedia....m_(text_editor)

already knew it...

I can type in my terminal:

cd source/perl/
vi perlscript.pl <ENTER>

and code in vim.  

yes vi is the original name for the editor a very primitive one at that. vim or vi improved in conjunction with your .vimrc is what I was referring to. My point was all *nix environments come with vi and more modern distros have vim installed.

To be that fucking anal over typing vi instead of vim is like me saying VS2003 everytime you refer to VS in the context of VS2010.

It is just ignorance and petty word twisting on the part of a high school skiddie.

Myself on the other hand, I probably have kids older than him. So shut the fuck up before I start dating your mom and make your bed time 2 hours earlier.

Edit - Thanks for all the posts before this ruining my thunder

lol that's the most childish post I've ever seen, made even better from the fact it's about a text editor!

Download FreeBSD, type vi file and you'll see. For those of us that work with REAL BSD/Unix systems we can appreciate that even though on Linux distros the commands are virtually aliases, they're still distinctly different. But there we go! I don't even care lol just nit picking on your stressiness because it's hillarious.

Almost as bad as OS/Browser wars!

Emacs all the way. I have absolutely no use for an IDE. Emacs is the closest thing to an IDE that me or my co-workers are likely to ever need or want, especially given the languages we use.

EDIT: Reading the above posts, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one whose head explodes when somebody so much as looks at my chosen tools wrong.

Well, to be fair you code in Clojure. You don't really need an IDE, right? Same for Ruby or Python. But try to make an MVC3 applications or a Winforms app without an IDE and it's impressive T4 templates, you'd be wasting your time on trivialities you shouldn't even care about.

Right tools for the right job.
