> Just out of curiosity, how did this happen? I dream in Vim. I started using Emacs when I decided to learn a little bit of Lisp for fun after reading some Paul Graham's easies, and indeed there is nothing like Slime to interact between the Lisp and the editor. At the same time I found that Vim was not playing nice with my other tools. I like the fact that I do a lot of stuffs using Emacs beside programming. I like the way it handle VCS, git, irc channels, email, ... After learned a little bit of Lisp I felt very frustrated with VimScript, not that emacs lisp is perfect but, for me is more fun and I am more efficient coding in elisp than in VimScript, because of that I had a more customize editor in emacs than in Vim The final deal breaker was when I discovered org-mode [1]. I can't think a better way to organize my mental process that org-mode, specially after customize some function to fit my process. I use it for almost everything: todo list, taking notes, agenda, time tracking, and even as an easy spreadsheets. Definitely, Emacs is not for everybody but, so far, it's the best tool for me. [1] http://orgmode.org/ > Are you using emacs Viper mode? I used for a long time, but as time passed I added a lot of customizations so is not really viper anymore. :) Just should give it a try, even if it is only for fun. You will learn a lot of stuff that will make you a better vim user. -- ------------------------------------- Pedro Del Gallego Email : [email protected] -- To view archived discussions from the original JSMentors Mailman list: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To search via a non-Google archive, visit here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]
