<br>Ha, while I certainly agree with that sentiment, I am always relieved to find how civilized and non-flameful this LUG is. :-)<br><br>I was an emacs guy until I met all these (exceedingly nice and non-pushy) Vim users at the meetings and decided to roll up my sleeves and fire up vimtutor. I have not once run emacs since that day. I have no vitriol for emacs; I just found out I personally work faster with a modal input scheme rather than chording, once I climbed the learning curve. I even set readline (and hence bash, ipython, ghci, etc.) to vi-mode in my ~/.inputrc so I could port my vi "muscle memory" to everything else. Works well for me, YMMV.<br>
<br>Now if only the various half-complete attempts at making a standardized Vim-alike editor component for KDE would work out... KVimPart is long dead, and I haven't had the spare time to try to build Yzis (terrible name), since AFAIK they don't have the KDE glue worked out yet.<br>
