Emacs, or Vim?

<< < (3/9) > >>

mobrien_12:
Emacs.  Pico/nano are close   seconds... but using vi/vim is just a very frustrating experience for me and always has been.

Calum:
actually (and i know this is pedantic) but vi isn't a command line text editor. ed is a command line text editor, however vi is a text based graphical text editor.

i know it's really pedantic but somehow i couldn't stop myself from mentioning it!

Aloone_Jonez:
Like edlin which isn't included in MS-DOS 5 to Windows ME but it was re-introduced in Windows 2000 and XP for some reason. :D

toadlife:
vi is okay once you get the hang of the basics, but sometimes when I'm doing something really simple, I like the unix "edit", which is simlar to DOS "edit".

hm_murdock:
Aloone, Edlin was always part of Windows NT.
