I want to try a simple, minimalistic text editor. I don't write anything programming related. Should I still try vim?

it changes the length of your brainwaves to make you a better programmer.

I do Java. Should I give a fuck?

I've used vi & vim in the past, although the last time I tried using vim, I tried turning it into some "pseudo-IDE" and it turned out horribly.

I also used Emacs. I liked the shortcuts, but there was too much to learn and I stopped giving a shit.

I just went back to working in Eclipse.

maybe someone here can help me.
is there any way to share and move buffers/tabs between multiple vim sessions ? or any other way to use multiple vim instances for 1 session ? (yeah, i have a multimonitor setup)

fucking disgusting

Personally I use vim to make quick edits, especially over ssh. Besides that you should use an ide. Just make sure you can still program without an ide otherwise you're a pajeet.

Can't I just use emacs if I'd had autism?

It even has a mode in which it has windows

How long does it take to open a 1,000,000 line file in vim?

If it takes less than an instant, then I'm happy to read
>Vim is rock stable and is continuously being developed to become even
better.

owait, they don't develop on that end.

>>59208337
what are you editing? It depends

>>59207301
>True, but you can scale Vim to be the IDE you want it to be
No thanks, UNIX is my IDE

trying to get more used to vim, but i've gotten quite reliant on some IDE features.

Anyone have any plugins to recommend for goTo symbols / classes ?

95% of your programming time is spent writing/editing code, the rest is just reading

just use the editor your're already comfortable with, because any kind of efficiency gain would be too small to notice. In fact you'd probably just waste a lot of time just learning basic commands and navigation

and in the end most people just use vim for the sake of vanity

>>59210934

i meant of course that only 5% of your time is spent writing/editing

no one here is discussing what's the simplest and most straight forward way to get your work done.

Why are they in their underwear? Do other girls seriously have no problem looking at that fatty in her underwear so tight you can see the topography of her floppy fuck flaps?

emacs is so much better and more intuitive for people that don't want to learn the autistic vim bindings.
