Why do you have to use vi? Talk about outdated shite... |

zaphod: DAMN. GOOD LUCK. JAroen: Unix is, more or less, a Linux rip. I guess. |

no clue. its supposed to "refine our programming" skill. i guess using an outdated academic shit language does that. |

Linux is actually more or less a Unix rip, and vi is just a shit text editor for Unix using key commands for absolutely everything...it is OK I suppose, but I can't understand why universities still insist on their students using it when in the real world it is extremely unlikely you would ever have to. Zaphod I have used it a couple of years ago...are you having any particular problems with it? |

I've used vi for about 10-11 years exclusively. vim is a better choice for new people and that's what I use these days. But there are friendlier choices for text editors on unix. See if pico or joe is installed on your system. |

vi is a POSIX standard - just like Bourne shell. The reason people still teach and use it is that it will be standard on any flavor of unix that you encounter. After you get a handle on these tools you can move to some of the more modern and friendly ones. |

some unix people would chop your hands off for saying vi/vim is shit. from what ive seen of it i could imagine that its loads faster to operate+ more effecient+ automatable than clunky GUI wimpy text editors you get thesedays, providing youre a skilled up l33t unix hacker type. goes for emacs too. |

what the fuck is a unix computer anyways? i don't think i've ever seen one |
||||||||

a unix computer is a sun workstation or a big fuck off main frame or a little pc running FreeBSD or whatever. |

oh my god, an emacs vs. vim thread on a music messageboard :) |

Does he know a lot about this stuff or what?! |

ah, but this is no ordinary music messageboard. we listen to "intelligent" music. |

i was a system administrator for Solaris and Linux servers, so i use vi exclusively for my editor. it's extremely powerful, though it does take some getting use to. i've heard emacs is better, especially for programming, but i never bothered to jump into it. i also used joe for a while, which was pretty good, but not as powerful. |
