It's a mechanics thing.. say in Vim I'd do: <esc>%s/foo/bar/g in TextMate I'd do: <cmd-f>foo<tab>bar<ctrl-cmd-f><esc> I find it a lot more natural to perform the former than the latter, so I feel more productive in Vim. Additionally I can use emacs and vim in a SSH session identically to how I use it locally, which is a bonus at times. Getting used to Vim for Python code just doesn't really buy me much. I liked TextMate enough to pay for it, but I couldn't make the switch for most programming tasks. -bob _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
