Hello Vim users,
29 years ago the very first version of Vim was built and distributed.
And Vim is more popular than ever before! So, what's going on these days?
VIM 9 DEVELOPMENTS - MAKING VIM SCRIPT FASTER AND EASIER TO USE
...
I started using Unix in 1981. I'm not sure when vi came on the scene --
I started using a teletype (with paper) and ed or ex. But I'm amazed
that you've added so many features to the editor and I can still do
basically anything I learned in the early vi days without having to
think about how to do it in vim. What great work!!
I put together two chapters about vi in "UNIX Power Tools", in 1990 or
so, when I worked for O'Reilly. It was fun writing articles about how to
work around various vi bugs. :) By the way, I see that the 8th Edition
of O'Reilly's "Learning the vi & Vim Editors" is due out in September
2021. They have an "Early Release - Raw & Unedited" version... see
https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/learning-the-vi/9781492078791/ .
All the best,
Jerry Peek
