"that is because Yahoo! want to learn very little detail from what Google is doing so Yahoo! can plan accordingly.Yahoo! is very obessive of Google i guess. :D heh."Please tell me you're kidding, because this has to be the absolute dumbest comment I have ever read. It is Yahoo! Groups, I could go there and post news about Microsoft, Google, Ask Jeeves, Icerocket and any other Yahoo! competitor I pleased. Doesn't mean Yahoo! has anything to do with it.
Sure: I try other editors from time to time, and in the end always go back to gVim.When you *really* try to use it, and learn some tricks, it's just more powerful.And you do not need to know its 10.000 functions, either: just learn the subset that makes you comfortable, and maybe browse the Vim Book from time to time, just to find new tricks.
be still my beating heart... I was just talking about this today. I would be ecstatic if Bram (or anyone else) created a version of gvim that acts as a firefox plugin and allows me to use it for all web form editing. In fact I found this thread while searching for just such a plugin, albeit not using the latest monopoly's search engine. I was trying to convince a coworker that notepad-ish text editors just don't cut it, and as we move more and more to these web based applications a powerful text editor embedded in the browser is a huge missing piece.
Smart move by Google. vim is an institution. users' fingers develop an editor-personality and vim is addictive!Bram is more than capable of an (abstract) vision and suggestive power that makes using Google as powerful as his editor.For the vim'ers out there --- think of -all- the tools you've nix'd simply because they lacked the (mature) vim plugin.... ie.I recently met the (totally cool!) RadRails developers at EclipseCon 2006.... I have little interest in using their IDE simply because they don't have ViM bindings... seems trivial but...my fingers are a fine-tuned vim engine and I depend on them to drive!!!dave/ i //

If you cannot use vi then look for the cream macros. Makes the whole thing easy to use and adds a number of extra features.
