Back in 1999 I was hired as the only front end guy on a team with 5 other
Perl and Java programmers all working in UNIX or Linux machines.
My nickname was "Mr. Clicky-Clicky". Yea real funny. I had been using DW
since I came out and I was really good with it.

After about 2 weeks I came into my office and found a "Learn the vi Editor"
book on my desk.

My manager decided it was time for me to learn how to work in a UNIX
environment.
Later they gave me a fresh box and a copy of Red Hat and told me to set up a
development machine.
I ended up running both LInux and windows in my office. Mac OSX now does
that for me in one machine.

After almost nine years of using vi (now I use gVim for Mac) I'm hooked.
It's so powerful that no matter what fancy tools I try to use, none of them
are as fast or as powerful as Vim. AND IT'S FREE! The cost in the learning
curve, I was fortunate enough to get paid to learn it. ;-)

I have the latest DW and Fireworks (I got them with the Adobe CS3 suite) but
I use them once in a great while for positioning abs. placed divs or
something. I can only take it for a short while until I get frustrated and
get back into vi.


With vim you can split the screens as much and almost anyway you want, so I
can have my HTML on the left and my CSS file on the right. Too easy. The
list of cool stuff it does it almost endless.
