Today was the first time I officially dedicated a whole day to coding in vim, more specifically macvim. I guess I can't really say why I decided today was the day to abandon my long relationship with textmate and I definitely wouldn't ever downtalk textmate. It is easily the best text editor I've ever used.
There's something different about vim though. It's designed to be streamlined and aerodynamic to the point that you can do anything with only a few simple keystrokes. I knew my way around textmate quite well, but just reading vim beginning lessons I can already see the power it brings to the table.
Now, I'm aware the world doesn't need anymore vim vs textmate arguments or touting about how great vim is, people have been using it for 30 years. However, I still wanted to take my moment to acknowledge my new found appreciation and look forward to my discoveries here!
And with that, good night!
